The estimated cost of providing a one off payment of €100 to all recipients of core weekly welfare payments, including both working age and pension age payments, is €167m.

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

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
