The estimated cost of one single month double Child Benefit payment in 2026 is €180.45 million.
This costing is based on the estimated number of beneficiaries in 2026 and is subject to change in light of emerging trends and subsequent revision of the estimated number of number of beneficiaries.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
