Parents to see cuts to childcare costs and double payment of child benefit in Budget 2023

  1. The 200 euro cut will help (would save us 2.4k per year after all, which is basically the same as a 5k salary increase), but our current monthly cost is 1.2k, so more to do in the coming years.

  2. How does childcare work in Ireland, I thought they were private enterprise so how is the government promising a cut in fees?

    Don’t have kids so no idea how it all works basically

  3. They could keep paying children’s allowance to kids who turn 18 and are in secondary school.

    The fact that they changed that rule is bizarre.

    My parents got it when I was in college for me. Now I don’t even get it for my child in secondary school

  4. The universal subsidy is €0.50 an hour so it looks like they might be adding a €1 to it. You’re allowed roughly 45 hours a week so that could make up the €200.
