Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has cast doubts over the continuation of cost of living supports in Ireland.
Details about next week's cost of living package suggest that additional child benefit could be on the cards, as well as wider eligibility for the fuel allowance. However, these supports might expire despite ongoing uncertainty about energy and fuel prices.
Additionally, Finance Minister Michael McGrath warned that next week’s package will be the “final” Government intervention ahead of this autumn’s Budget. Government talks regarding cost of living payments remain ongoing, but the Irish Mirror understands that crunch talks scheduled to go ahead today will not take place.
