Boilsciú (Inflation) (Leaving Cert Irish): Flashcards

Is é boilsciú an méadú leanúnach ar phraghsanna earraí agus seirbhísí sa tír, rud a mhéadaíonn costas maireachtála. (Inflation is the continuous increase in the prices of goods and services in a country, which raises the cost of living.)

Cuireadh scéim nua ar bun a thabharfaidh €600 do theaghlaigh le cabhrú leo billí fóntais an gheimhridh a íoc. (A new scheme has been set up which will give families €600 to help them pay their winter utility bills.)

Bheartaigh siad chomh maith ar íocaíochtaí sochar linbh a dhúbailt mí na Samhna agus d’ardaigh na híocaíochtaí leasa shóisialaigh le timpeall €12 chun dul i bhfeidhm ar an boilsciú. (They also decided to double child benefit payments in November and social welfare payments rose by around €12 to reflect inflation.)
