The estimated full-year cost of increasing each weekly social welfare scheme by €27.50 per week is €2,025.4 million.

It should be noted that these costings are subject to change in the context of emerging trends and associated revision of the estimated numbers of recipients.

It should also be noted that these costings include proportionate increases for qualified adults where relevant.
