The Irish Tax Institute thinks that exempting 700,000 working people from the tax net is unfair on middle income tax payers.
I agree, especially since so many low paid people actually live in middle to high income households. It's largely a tax break on students and part time employees, paid for by those on average incomes who pay rent or mortgages and childcare. There is already a generous welfare system in place to support those on low incomes who need it.
