Ceist:

In response to the ongoing cost of living pressures, my Department will spend approximately €1.2 billion on a range of lump-sum payments during the coming months to help individuals and families through this difficult period.

I can confirm that the relevant payments will be paid to each eligible recipient in a household.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
