The Republic of Ireland's finance minister has announced personal tax cuts and cost-of-living supports in a giveaway pre-election budget.
There is growing speculation that the election will be held before Christmas.
Official figures published last week suggest Ireland will run a € 25 billion budget surplus this year, partially due to a huge tax windfall from Apple.
The minister, Jack Chambers, said the windfall will be set aside for investment in infrastructure.
Further details of how it will be spent will be laid out early next year.
