When is 1st payment of new child benefit due

Is this the full amount of 1K or is this pro-rated over the year ? For a child born in April will it be available? Also - is this paid in the same way as child benefit (e.g. into bank account)?

€250 each time.

If they qualify for CB in April then I presume that the answer is yes
to be paid at the end of each quarter (that is, every three months) for each child under 6 years of age who receives Child Benefit.

As far as I know it's paid the same way as CB - cash at the PO or lodged to (in most cases) the mother's bank account.
