EVERY EVENING, TheJournal.ie brings you five things to know before you head out the door…
1. #BUDGET 2012: Taoiseach Enda Kenny has confirmed that the Government will “revisit” cuts to disability allowance outlined in the Budget, as opposition to the proposal mounted. Earlier today Finance Minister Michael Noonan had acknowledged the issue was “worth looking at again”.
2. #EU TREATY: International measures to tackle the eurozone debt crisis could be possible without a new EU Treaty, Enda Kenny has insisted. It’s thought the proposals could be adopted using a protocol which would avoid the need for an Irish referendum.
