Some social welfare recipients will be issued a refund soon after an error with last month's cost of living payment.
The €200 cash boost was paid to 1.2m people at the end of April, alongside their normal weekly social welfare payment. The bonus was part of a cost of living package announced by the Government in February.
The Department of Social Protection has confirmed that 1% (approximately 12,000) recipients of the bonus payment incorrectly had charges applied.
