The Government is reportedly considering a fourth energy credit.
In Budget 2023, the Government announced that all households would receive three €200 energy credits that would be automatically deducted from their bill.
€1.2 billion has already been allocated to spend on energy support payments and the Government is reportedly considering a fourth. “We welcome any additional cost of living support then they need to look at targeting those who are most in need and increasing core social welfare rates by €8 [per week] is the best way for households for targeted income support for households who are struggling.”
