DUBLIN, Nov 5 (Reuters) - Ireland will look at Britain's budget before setting its own taxes for 2010, Finance Minister Brian Lenihan said on Thursday.
Lenihan said he wanted to avoid the mistakes made last year when he brought the budget forward to October from December and increased value-added tax (VAT) just before the UK lowered it, increasing the flow of consumers across the border with Northern Ireland.
