I thank the Minister for his clarification. This budget will make a substantial difference to thousands of households who will benefit from the once-off measures aimed at easing the cost-of-living crisis. The €1.1 billion income tax package will certainly put more money back into people's pockets, with tax savings of €800 a year for single earners and double that for households. Middle-income earners, pensioners and families with young children were among some of the biggest winners in this budget. I commend the Minister's work and that of the Minister, Deputy Donohoe.
