About this episode
The government is working on a saving scheme in a bid to encourage Irish savers, who have an estimated €170bn in deposits, to invest.
Some economists have raised concerns that this will only benefit the wealthy and that there is little benefit for the so-called “squeezed middle”.
Charlie Weston, Personal Finance Editor with the Irish Independent, joins Matt to run through what’s known about the scheme so far.
