Minister Eamon Ryan says he's confident the Government will find the balance to support the most vulnerable with cost-of-living supports.

Current supports expire at the end of the month, and the state is due to reveal details of what's staying and what's going after a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday.

Speculation is growing the 9 percent VAT rate for the hospitality sector will rise back to 13.5 percent, and the excise duty reduction on petrol and diesel will potentially return to pre-support rates.

Minister Ryan says mistakes of the past when it comes to public money will not be repeated
