MEPs warn Irish EU budget plan risks 'historic failure'

Original: MEPs warn Irish EU budget plan is ‘short‑sighted’ and risks ‘historic failure’ as cuts of €141bn spare farm and cohesion funds

Irish MEPs have criticised the Irish government's approach to the EU budget, calling the plan 'short-sighted' and warning it could lead to a 'historic failure'. The criticism centres on proposed cuts of €141bn in the EU budget, while farm and cohesion funds are spared from the reductions. The dispute highlights tensions over how the EU's next long-term budget should be structured and which programmes should absorb the savings.

Why now: Negotiations over the EU's next multiannual budget are under way and the proposed €141bn in cuts have drawn sharp criticism from Irish MEPs.
