The Irish government has unveiled Budget 2025, prioritizing support for families, pensioners, workers, and a fair society. The budget includes significant financial aid to alleviate the cost of living crisis, with over €2 billion returning to people's pockets before Christmas.
Budget 2025 is for families, for parents, for pensioners, for workers, for carers and for a fair society.
Between now and December 31, every child in Ireland will receive €700 in child benefit. That is made up of this Thursday’s standard payment as well as double payments in November and December. I believe this money is necessary to help families as we await falling inflation to be reflected in the prices in the shops.
The budget ensures our pensioners and carers are recognised and given a bit more help. Every pensioner will receive an increase of €12 per week in their pension. There will be an extension to the fuel allowance so more people qualify and people over 70 can bring a companion on public transport for free.
