Some Irish households are in for a €1,000 cash boost and a double payment as more price hikes come in from Friday.
Following on from the Budget 2023 announcement, the government confirmed that a host of new supports would be introduced to cushion the blow of the current cost of living crisis.
These include €600 in energy credits given out in €200 instalments, social welfare bonuses, tax cuts, and a number of measures to help students.
