Expectant parents are set to receive free baby supplies worth €500 from the Government as part of a brand new scheme.
Children's Minister Roderick O'Gorman has announced the plan to pilot The Little Baby Bundle to 500 parents and newborns later this year.
The "welcome gift" will include a number of key items such as blanket, a hooded bath town, a bath sponge, muslin cloth, socks, nappies, mittens, nursing and maternity pads, nipple cream, a breast pump, and more.
