It was promised in the Budget to be rolled out in January 2025. It supports a struggling demographic ie Peri-menopausal and menopausal women. HRT can enable women going through menopause to manage symptoms such as increased anxiety, depression, hot flushes, mesophonia, panic attacks, insomnia etc. (there are at least 35 symptoms), thereby ensuring women can live a more productive and fulfilling life and maintain good relationships. HRT is also heart and bone loss protective. It supports working single women who receive very little tax benefits compared to those that are married and or are mothers through no fault of their own. As per Irish Independent 2020 single people pay up to seven times more tax throughout their working life times and that has now increased due to the tax increases that targets single people inheriting property in new Inheritance Tax laws in 2024.
