The new payment under consideration could amount to €400 or €500 and would be paid between November and March to help people through what is expected to be a grim winter in terms of costs.
Government is currently working out the details of Budget 2023, set to be announced on September 27, and finalising a number of details to help households through the cost of living crisis, RSVP reports.
