Minister Paschal Donohoe delivered his sixth Budget to the Dail this afternoon, unveiling a €11 billion package to help families make ends meet amid a surge in the cost of living.
Budgets over the past two years have concentrated on the Covid-19 pandemic but the package for 2023 is completely focused on the rising costs affecting the whole country. Both Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe and Public Expenditure Minister Michael McGrath addressed TDs at lunchtime today and released the highly anticipated details of next year's Budget.
Social welfare recipients were the big winners of today's Budget 2023 announcement, with significant increases across the board. There were also major changes announced to third-level fees, tax brackets and eligibility free healthcare schemes.
