Budget 2024 to benefit working families, pensioners, and carers

Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform Paschal Donohoe with Minister for Finance Michael McGrath.

Working families, pensioners, and carers will be better off under Budget 2024 with across-the board social welfare increases, tax reductions, and a mortgage interest relief scheme.

Parents will receive a number of supports including a double child benefit payment before Christmas; further reduction in childcare fees, as well as the extension of free school books to second level.
