The estimated full-year cost of increasing the qualified child payment by €7 per week for children aged 12 and over is €31m.
The estimated full-year cost of increasing the qualified child payment by €4 per week for children aged under 12 is €47m.
These costings are subject to change in the context of emerging trends and associated revision of the estimated numbers of recipients.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
