Full Halloween and Christmas bonus details confirmed in Budget 2023 as thousands eligible for boost

Budget 2023 has finally been delivered and there’s plenty of good news for almost everyone in Ireland.

Social welfare recipients are among the big winners and are in line for a whole host of cash boosts over the coming months.

An across-the-board increase on social welfare payments of €12 has been confirmed, as well as two double payments. The first cash bonus will be paid out before Halloween and will be given to all core welfare recipients. This will then be followed by another double payment for the Christmas bonus in December, which is already in place.
