In this episode, Niall asks, "Is Income Tax Relief for Moms a Birthrate Solution?" Inspired by Hungary’s 2019 policy, which exempts women with four or more children from paying income tax, Niall examines whether a similar approach could increase Ireland's birth rate.

Some callers think offering income tax relief for mothers could be a great incentive to boost the birth rate in Ireland. Hungary's policy shows that it's a practical way to support families financially and encourage larger families. Raising children is expensive, and this kind of relief can significantly ease the financial burden. It also acknowledges the value of motherhood and the effort that goes into raising the next generation. One caller noted, "Income tax relief for moms could be a game-changer for Ireland. It would not only encourage higher birth rates but also help address demographic challenges like an aging population. Many young couples delay having children due to financial concerns, and this kind of policy could make a big difference."

While other callers are against the idea. They argue that tax relief for moms might not be fair to everyone. What about families who can't have children or choose not to for various reasons? This policy could create inequality and resentment among those who don't benefit from it. They suggest that the government should instead invest in creating a more supportive environment for all families, regardless of the number of children they have.

Niall summarizes the diverse opinions and suggests that while income tax relief for mothers could boost birth rates, it is essential to consider the broader implications and potential inequalities. He thanks the callers for their insights and encourages listeners to keep the conversation going.
