I've seen that written in a few places but that is already the situation. I expect that they will extend child benefit beyond 18 for those in second level. Most kids are 19 leaving second level.child benefit to age 18 in full time education
Are you sure?I've seen that written in a few places but that is already the situation.
My son just turned 18 in September (and is in 6th/Leaving Cert year) and I got a letter from DSP informing me that CB would no longer be paid after the September payment.Child Benefit is not paid for any child aged 18 or older, even if they are in full-time education or training.

It was the situation some years ago. As another poster mentioned, the current rule is that child benefit for schoolgoers ceases at age 18, regardless of when in the school year that happens.I've seen that written in a few places but that is already the situation. I expect that they will extend child benefit beyond 18 for those in second level. Most kids are 19 leaving second level.
How is the 25% reduction in childcare costs calculated? Its a big reduction but how will it be reflected in real life. For example, if I spend €600 per week as it stands, will that now be €450 next year?25% reduction in childcare costs from Sept 2024

That's the situation as it stands. Brendan posted "child benefit to age 18 in full time education" which is no different. So I expect that it's actually "child benefit extended to 18-year-olds in full-time education", so up to age 19 in full-time education.My son just turned 18 in September (and is in 6th/Leaving Cert year) and I got a letter from DSP informing me that CB would no longer be paid after the September payment.

Childcare? Do you mean Child Benefit? If so then, no. It's only payable from September 2024 for 18 year olds in full time education according to the DSP:My child was 18 last May childcare stopped then .he is in leaving cert will I get back pay .
- extend Child Benefit to 18-year-olds in full time education, from September 2024
It’s not a straight 25% reduction. There will be a fixed increase in the NCS subsidy that will apply. The last “25%” reduction worked out as ~15% to us.How is the 25% reduction in childcare costs calculated? Its a big reduction but how will it be reflected in real life. For example, if I spend €600 per week as it stands, will that now be €450 next year?
Anyone know which schools this would be? All Deis schools already have them I think so is it being rolled out to regular primary schools?Hot schoold means to another 900 schools
Great country to be a child alright apart from the 4000 children in emergency accommodation, the 291 children waiting for spinal surgery, 4421 children waiting for mental health treatment......
.but hey multi millionaires continue to get child benefit while their little Hugo and Anastasia when they are 18 and continue in education......
Was there really nothing else we could have done with that money?
Well, the Minister for Housing could have sent some of the 80,000 Ukranian refugees and countless thousands of asylum seekers back home and moved those homeless kids into the homes that would have become available. Is that what you'd have liked?
And the Minister for Health could have toddled down to Supervalu and picked up a couple of dozen child pyschologists who - as we all know - are ten a penny at the moment.
I have no doubt that some of the additional €500m allocated to the HSE will be used to tackle the waiting list for spinal surgery; probably by sourcing the procedure overseas wherever possible; but unfortunately there's no easy way of tackling the backlog - and, regardless of the baying of the media and opposition TDs - it's one of those structural problems that can't be solved by the time honoured Irish political solution of simply throwing more money at it.
Finally, I'd like to wish both Hugo and Anastasia the very best of luck in their continuing education; hopefully one or both of them will qualify as doctors and work in the HSE in the years to come.
