Budget 2025 introduces several lump sum cost of living payments. However three groups of social welfare recipients have been excluded from the upcoming October double payment and Christmas Bonus, who were previously included last year.
Budget 2025 was announced last week, and contains a €1.2 billion social welfare package “targeted to those with the greatest need”, according to Public Expenditure Minister Paschal Donohoe.
As well as the above, a total of 10 lump sum cost of living payments were confirmed, with the first of them coming this month.
