Social welfare increases, the return (for some) of mortgage interest relief, a bigger tax break for renters, help with childcare costs and three energy payments - these are some of the measures many people will be looking at as they weigh up whether Budget 2024 has delivered anything meaningful for them.
Irish Times consumer affairs correspondent Conor Pope takes a look at the figures and tells In the News what difference - big or small - it might make for struggling households.
Meanwhile political reporter Jack Horgan-Jones talks about where Budget 2024 deviated from expectations and whether it will be remembered come election time.
Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by Declan Conlon.
