More cash for Irish households could be 'looked at' with more lump sum payments within weeks

More cost of living cash supports from the Government - on top of those already announced on Budget day - could be delivered in the New Year, Heather Humphreys has signalled.

Ms Humphreys said: “This government has always responded to the challenges that people have faced and we’ll continue to, come the New Year.

“If we need to look at other things, well then we will look at that.”
