The ESRI has a figure here for €892 and €1,360 as the likely cost to poorer households. When one adds that to the budgetary impacts in terms of welfare and of no indexing of tax allowances and no indexing in any way of welfare allowances, both impacts are not too far away from each other, so it is a fairly big combined hit to poorer households.
