One-off measures in Budget 2024 'won't be as big as last year', says Taoiseach 

Welfare supports currently being considered include a €15 increase in payments to pensioners, carers and people with disabilities

It would not be “prudent” to introduce as many one-off measures in the upcoming budget as last year, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said.

Speaking to reporters in Leixlip, Mr Varadkar said while the Government would still introduce a package of once-off supports, it would not be as large a package as was seen in Budget 2023.
