People will receive their Christmas Bonus on the same day that they usually receive their payment
North Tipperary Independent TD, Deputy Michael Lowry has confirmed payment details for the Christmas Bonus, which will be paid to approximately 54,800 recipients across Tipperary this week.
1.5 million people nationally, including Pensioners, Carers and People with Disabilities, will receive their bonus payments, totalling €370 million, with people receiving their Christmas Bonus on the same day that they usually receive their weekly primary payment.
“Families can find themselves under additional pressure in the run up to Christmas.
“The Christmas Bonus is a vital support, particularly for our senior citizens, families, people with disabilities, carers, and lone parents”, Deputy Lowry said.
“People will receive their Bonus payment on the same day that they usually receive their weekly pension or other primary payment.
“As always, people are encouraged, where possible, to shop locally in the run-up to Christmas this year.
“By shopping locally, you are supporting your local economy, your local community and your local small businesses” Deputy Lowry said.
