🔹 A first-ever permanent Cost of Disability payment of €500.

That means putting more money into the pockets of older people, recognising the vital role of carers, supporting people living with disabilities, and helping families meet the rising cost of living.

[Fianna Fáil @fiannafailparty]

Fianna Fáil is focused on making sure older people, carers, people with disabilities & working families get the support they need.

Under these measures

€10 increase in core social welfare payments bringing the State Pension above €300 for the first time, to €309.30 per week

[Fianna Fáil @fiannafailparty]

from €46,500.
* €250 in additional tax credits
* Increasing the Home Carer Credit by €100
* Increasing the second USC band ceiling by €1,600

That’s an average of €750 back in your pocket.

Rewarding work. Supporting families. Putting more money back in your pocket.

[Fianna Fáil @fiannafailparty]

Fianna Fáil is rewarding work. 💪

We believe if you work hard, you should be able to keep more of what you earn.

That’s why we’re putting more money back in your pocket:

* Extending the 20% tax band from €44,000 to €46,500 meaning you only pay the higher rate of tax

[Fianna Fáil @fiannafailparty]

♻️ €140 million to retrofit 3,500 social homes, making homes warmer and more energy efficient.

This is about building at scale, investing for the long term, increasing supply, supporting people into home ownership and delivering more social & affordable homes.

[Fianna Fáil @fiannafailparty]

Investing in homes. Delivering Communities

Fianna Fáil with @JamesBrowneTD has secured €9bn in investment to increase housing supply, with funding across social, affordable and private housing.

That includes:

€3bn for social housing, supporting circa 11,500 new social homes

[Fianna Fáil @fiannafailparty]

Over €1bn for the Starter Homes programme, supporting 8,500 affordable homes.

🔑 €110m in increased support for first-time buyers through the Help to Buy increase, bringing the maximum relief to €35,000.

"Budget 2027 is not just an exercise in allocation, it is also an exercise in reform, simplifying how the state works, improving how public services are delivered, and shifting our focus from simply building a bigger State to building a better one"

💶 Childcare services tax relief increased from €15,000 to €20,000.

Families need practical support with the cost of childcare and these measures are about making childcare more affordable, accessible and inclusive.

[Fianna Fáil @fiannafailparty]

[Micheál Martin @MichealMartinTD]

This is a Budget for families, for workers and helping people with rising costs.

- We're putting more money back in workers’ pockets
- Supporting families and carers with the cost of childcare and disability
- Easing the burden of fuel and energy costs for those who need it most
