Returning to PAYE after being a carer

I returned to work in October and ceased receiving carers allowance at that time. I notified Revenue and they said they made the appropriate changes to my record. I just got my tax cert for 2022 and it has two references to carers that I don't understand:
1. Tax credits were reduced by €897 for DSP carers income. Not sure where this relatively small figure came from.
2. Under the tax rate band, it says my rate band was decreased by carers income @ ~4.5k.

Would that make sense to have reference to carers on my tax cert for next year?

As carers allowance is taxable, it looks as though revenue have decided to spread your tax liability over two years rather than taking it all from you in the final month of this year.
