Budget 2023
Dail Éireann — 2022-10-04
============================================================

Alan Dillon (FG), Mayo

It can be simply said that families were the biggest winners in this year's budget, but also that there were a considerable number of measures for young people. Certainly, the once-off reduction in the student contribution of €1,000 for eligible students, the once-off €1,000 increase for the postgraduate fee contributions and a once-off double monthly payment for those in receipt of SUSI maintenance grants were substantial measures, especially for young people and their families. The extension of the 20% public travel fare reduction and the youth travel card discount of 50% on all operated services out to 2023 will certainly support sustainable travel ambitions and assist in achieving our climate targets.
I have one question of clarification. How exactly will the renters' €500 tax credit be put into operation?
