€200 energy credit unlikely as government dampen expectation for supports

The government is reportedly pushing to downplay expectations for cost of living supports due to be announced on Tuesday.

Ministers are currently meeting to finalise the measures to help with the pinch that the cost of living is placing on households, with the measures to be brought before the Cabinet on Tuesday.According to Heather Humphreys, Minister for Social Protection, the focus of the measures is to help the “hardest-hit” in society, such as older people or people with disabilities.

However, it has been reported that the measures may not reach the €1 billion mark with more €200 electricity credits currently looking doubtful, although no decision has been made yet.
