The June Bank Holiday weekend is just days away and changes will be made to social welfare dates.
Banks and post offices will be closed for business on the June Bank Holiday Monday so social welfare recipients will get their payments on a different date. If you're due to receive your welfare or pension payment at a post office on Monday 5th June, you will be able to collect it early from Friday 2nd. June.
The Department of Social Protection said: "Monday 5 June is a Bank Holiday and as a result most social welfare payments due to be paid on Monday 5 June, will now be paid on Friday 2 June instead.

"All Intreo Centres and Branch Offices will be closed Monday 5 June due to the Bank Holiday. Intreo Centres and Branch Offices will re-open on Tuesday 6 June."
It is also likely that parents will receive their Child Benefit payment early. Child Benefit is due on the first Tuesday of every month but when this falls after a bank holiday weekend, it is usually made available on the prior Friday or Saturday.
This means that Child Benefit may land in accounts on Friday 2nd June or Saturday 3rd June. The June Child Benefit payment will see the €100 bonus per child that was announced in the Government's spring cost of living package.
