Louth TD Speaks to LMFM About Tackling Ireland’s Growing Wealth Divide - 09/07/2026

Ireland’s growing wealth gap is being put under the spotlight, with a new report examining how a net wealth tax could be introduced and what impact it could have on the country’s finances.The report argues that while many households continue to feel the pressure of rising living costs and stretched public services, wealth at the very top has become increasingly concentrated. It claims a carefully designed wealth tax could raise billions for the Exchequer, helping to support areas such as housing, healthcare and public services.The briefing was hosted by Labour TD for Louth Ged Nash, who says taxing wealth is a key part of creating a fairer and more sustainable Ireland.Deputy Nash joined us on The Agenda this morning to talk to us about the report, the proposals being put forward, and why he believes a wealth tax could bring about significant change.
