Parents and carers across Ireland will benefit from a range of changes announced by the government to help with the cost of living crisis.
With the cost of almost everything apparently rising, a new relief package was announced last month to help struggling families.
Beneficiaries include parents and guardians who, if eligible, can request two separate one-off payments of €100 per child.
Parents and guardians receiving Child Benefit in Ireland will receive a €100 incentive per child in June.
An additional payment of €100 per child will also be given as part of the Back to School Allowance for summer clothing and shoes.
