View answerThe Department of Social Protection does not break down the budget allocation of the Supplementary Welfare Allowance (SWA) by city, county or region. The scheme, which is demand-led, is operated on a national level by my Department.
The 2022 budget allocation for SWA is €123.7m.
Expenditure up to the end of March 2022 is estimated to be €27.3m.
