Ireland: maternity, paternity, adoptive and parent's benefit rise €10 a week
What’s happening
Budget 2027 raises the weekly state rate for these benefits from €299 to €309, as part of a €10 increase across most social welfare payments.
What to do
Update parental-leave guides and any employer top-up formulas that offset the state benefit.
