National Childcare Subsidies will be available for all children under 15-years-old as soon as next week.
From 29 August 2022, the subsidy under the National Childcare Scheme (NCS) will be extended to children aged up to 15 years, regardless of the parents income. The scheme supports families as a way to make quality childcare accessible and affordable in Ireland.
Parents won't get the subsidy for a child aged 15 and above and the allowance be combined with the Universal Subsidy and an Income Assessed Subsidy. Parents can instead you pick the one which will benefit them the most.
