With Budget 2023 set to be revealed on September 27, Government officials and senior Cabinet ministers are finalising the details of a number of supports for people across the country amid the cost of living crisis.
It is expected that the cost of living package will be the biggest in Budget history, with measures aimed at tackling the rising bills in the areas of energy, tax and groceries. The cost of living package is expected to cost at least €2 billion and looks set to provide some relief to both businesses and households throughout Ireland.
Among supports being considered by Government ministers include a double social welfare payment, Christmas bonuses, energy credits, an increase in minimum wage, tax cuts, and more.
