Up to 650,000 families will receive an extra €100 tomorrow in Child Benefit payments to help with the rising cost of living.
The additional support means that €240 per child will be paid this month in respect of over 1.2 million children.
The increased Child Benefit payments are part of a package of measures secured by Social Protection Minister Heather Humphreys in February and are in addition to the €2.2 billion of supports provided in last October’s Budget.
