The Taoiseach has refused to speculate on the future of cost of living measures and has said he doesn't want to "raise expectations".
But he had said an announcement is coming in February about what financial help is coming down the line. Most of the planned payments will be targeted toward certain groups.
At the end of next month several measures will end. They include reduced VAT rates for the hospitality sector, excise duty cuts on petrol and diesel and VAT reductions on electricity.
