Once off 'baby boost' Child Benefit payment of 560 for new parents is a 'good idea', says Heather Humphreys
Briefly

Minister Humphreys noted that extending fuel allowance payments to those aged over 66 is crucial, ensuring elderly citizens don’t hesitate to heat their homes.
O'Gorman's 'baby boost' proposal aims to support new parents financially in the first month of their child's birth, reflecting growing considerations for family support in Budget 2025.
Acknowledging that last year’s double payment of Child Benefit was extremely popular, Minister Humphreys emphasized the need to alleviate the ongoing cost of living pressures.
While there will be a cost of living package in this year's Budget, ministers expect it won't be as extensive in one-off payments as in previous years.
