With our plan, we will change the point at which an individual pays the higher rate of tax to €50,000 over the next five years.

The benefit for an average earner at the end of five years will be just under €3,000 PER YEAR.

We will ensure nobody has to pay the top rate of tax until they earn €50,000 a year and anyone earning less that €20,000 will not be levied with USC. It is wrong that a worker on €39,000, €42,000 or the average wage of €47,596 should be paying the higher rate. #LookForward

I look forward with confidence to the future of Ireland and the EU after Brexit. I do not underestimate the challenges and risks but believe we can meet that working with our European partners we can build an ever closer, safer, prosperous and sustainable future for us all.

— Leo Varadkar (@LeoVaradkar) January 31, 2020

I profoundly regret that the UK is leaving the EU but I absolutely respect their decision to do so. I’m certain, that both Ireland and the EU more broadly – will continue to have an abiding friendship with the UK, a real partnership in terms of politics, security & the economics

— Leo Varadkar (@LeoVaradkar) January 31, 2020

As the leader of a small country, I’ve felt enormous solidarity from our European partners. The past few years have demonstrated again that the EU is a union of nations, as well as of peoples. One in which small states are protected and respected. #BrexitDay

— Leo Varadkar (@LeoVaradkar) January 31, 2020

As Taoiseach I’ve seen the strength & the unity of the European Union, and how much we can achieve when member states, all 27, think together, work together & have common objectives. When Europe acts as one, it is a truly powerful force for good. United we stand, divided we fall

— Leo Varadkar (@LeoVaradkar) January 31, 2020

Today we are grateful to the European member states for their solidarity and support during the recent Brexit negotiations.
It is proof of why small countries benefit from membership of the EU. #EU #Ireland #Europe #LookForward

— Leo Varadkar (@LeoVaradkar) January 31, 2020

Today is a bittersweet day for all of us who believe in the idea of Europe. Our sadness, however, is tempered by what we have seen over the past three years. Although Europe was tested it did not break, but came through it stronger and more united than ever.

— Leo Varadkar (@LeoVaradkar) January 31, 2020

This is very much in Ireland’s interests, as well as that of the European Union as a whole. This means common minimum standards on workers’ rights, health and safety, the environment, animal welfare, state aid, as well as produce and food standards. #BrexitDay

— Leo Varadkar (@LeoVaradkar) January 31, 2020

I am ambitious about the future EU/UK relationship but I also think we think to be realistic about the dangers. We need to start a new relationship between the EU and the UK on a firm and honest footing. And that means a level playing field.

— Leo Varadkar (@LeoVaradkar) January 31, 2020

Tonight, when the clock strikes 11 p.m. the UK will leave the European Union. We'll say goodbye to an old friend embarking on an adventure. We hope it works out for them. But if it does not, there will always be a seat kept for them at the table. #BrexitDay pic.twitter.com/ybkX70wFZt
