Ireland.com has created a site dedicated to Budget 2002, offering extensive news coverage and analysis.

On Budget Day next Wednesday, the site will feature a live video stream of the Minister's speech and the Opposition's response, with a full breakdown of the Budget measures.

On Thursday, experts from The Irish Times and PricewaterhouseCoopers will answer readers' questions online from 10 a.m. and a tax calculator will be available to allow readers assess the effect of the Budget on their pockets. The site can be found at: www.ireland.com/special/budget/2002/
