Good news for Irish parents: your wallet is about to get a break! Starting next week, families could save up to €1,700 per year on childcare costs, thanks to new government subsidies.
According to Irish Examiner, children’s Minister Roderic O’Gorman announced on Thursday that the National Childcare Scheme is rolling out increased support for parents. For those using full-time childcare services, this could mean savings of €33 per week – a welcome relief in these costly times.
“This move will help thousands of families across Ireland access more affordable early learning and childcare,” O’Gorman stated.
The new subsidies aim to ease the financial burden on parents, making quality childcare more accessible to all. With the cost of living constantly on the rise, this initiative comes as a breath of fresh air for many struggling families.
So, parents, get ready to smile when you see your next childcare bill. It seems the government is finally giving your piggy bank a much-needed break!
