Thousands of cash-strapped Irish households are set to receive a number of payments from the Government before Christmas as Budget 2023 takes shape.
The long-awaited cost of living Budget will be announced next week by Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe and Public Expenditure Minister Michael McGrath and the government has promised some measures to reduce the impact being felt in people's pockets before Christmas as well as in the New Year.
With bills soaring across the board, people will be eagerly awaiting the Budget announcement this year, perhaps like no other, and a number of measures are beginning to leak from the Cabinet table.
