Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has ruled out holding a mini-Budget next week as he stressed that the coalition cannot fully help everyone with the cost of living.
Government ministers will continue to meet throughout the week to discuss a range of measures that will come to an end next week. This includes excise duty cuts on petrol and diesel, VAT reductions on electricity and a reduced VAT rate for the hospitality sector.
In the Dáil on Wednesday, Labour leader Ivana Bacik called on the Government to announce a mini-Budget.
