Deputy Joe McHugh has welcomed a four-week extension to the fuel allowance for people across Donegal and the rest of the country.
Minister McHugh said “In response to the Covid-19 emergency, my colleagues in Government have committed to extending the fuel allowance season by four weeks, from Friday, 10th April until Friday 8th May.
“At a time where we wish people to stay at home to stay safe, it makes perfect sense to extend the Fuel Season for existing eligible customers on a once-off basis, in order to ensure the most vulnerable groups are provided with additional targeted financial supports.
“This extension will ensure those in receipt of this payment have one less thing to worry about and can remain safe and warm in their homes for the coming period.”
