The Oireachtas Library & Research Service is marking Budget 2019 by displaying a file of material relating to budgets, estimates and expenditures made between 1923 and 1924.
The 1923 budget was the first occasion upon which a Budget statement was made. It was introduced just as the Civil War was ending.
The above photograph is of the Cabinet c.1923. The image is courtesy of the National Library of Ireland.
