Ireland's Budget for 2023 has been announced with everyone in for some boost whether it be income tax changes or an energy credit.
Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe told the Dail in a lengthy speech that while the country emerged from the Covid-19 pandemic last year, it is now facing a further economic challenge.
"If you are an older person, you are having to spend more of your pension on heating your home; if you are looking after a family, you are facing higher grocery bills; if you are running a small business, you are trying to cope with increases in the cost of energy," he added.
