Social welfare recipients should plan ahead as the child benefit payment will be affected this May Bank Holiday Weekend.
The long weekend begins at the end of April this year, with Bank Holiday Monday falling on May 1. All banks and post offices will remain closed until May 2, affecting payments due on this date.
Money Guide Ireland reports that both welfare payments and state pensions owed on May 1 will instead be paid on Friday 28 April. Any payments due on Tuesday May 2 should not be affected as the long weekend will have ended.
