There will be measures in the Budget to help with the cost of living and to reduce income tax.
The Taoiseach insists both will form part of the package due to be announced in October.
Leo Varadkar says cutting income tax has been a long-term plan they started back in 2014.
"Somebody on €40,000 or more a year gets €3,000 more in their pocket than they would if there had been a left wing government in office.
"We want to continue on that trajectory, allowing more people to keep more of the money they earn, and we'll work out the details of that in the budget.
"I should say that the tax package of €1.1bn is the net package, not the gross package, so it is possible to add to that package."
