Questions (420)

Louise O'Reilly

Question:

420. Deputy Louise O'Reilly asked the Minister for Social Protection the first year and full year cost of a €100 lump sum to all recipients of the working family payment. [16167/26]

Written answers

Minister for Social Protection

The estimated cost of providing a one off payment of €100 to all recipients of the Working Family Payment is €5.2 million.

Please note this is a high-level estimate as the profiling for the Revised Estimates Volume 2026 has not yet been completed.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
