There's a boost for families in store amidst the cost of living crisis.
That's because the Child Benefit, which every family with children in Ireland is entitled to, is going to be issued early due to the May Bank Holiday. While the payment is normally issued on a Tuesday - due to bank closures - families will receive it on Friday or Saturday this week.
The change will also be a positive change for those on other social welfare payments. Those who are due a payment on Monday will also receive it a few days earlier.
