Families will receive an extra boost as part of a bonus social welfare payment.
An extra €100 will be paid to those eligible for the Child Benefit payment tomorrow. The extra payment comes as part of the €410m social welfare package announced in February.
This will increase the allowance to €240 for each eligible child up to the age of 16. The payment will be automatically deposited in eligible families' bank accounts tomorrow, June 6, 2023.
