Leo Varadkar has confirmed that next week’s budget will feature a multi-billion euro package aimed at helping the people of Ireland cope with the rising cost of living.
The Tanaiste suggested that those struggling will see more money “in their pockets and off their bills within weeks.”
A number of benefits are due to be rolled out ahead of the Christmas season - a time when many feel the height of financial pressure - while more will be seen in the new year.
