Sir, – Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has spoken often about helping families financially. Children’s allowance ceases when the child reaches 18 when they are still in full-time education. In the past, children’s allowance continued to be paid until the age of 21 while the young person was still in full-time education. Maybe it is time to reinstate children’s allowance to families while their dependants are in full-time education up to a certain age. – Yours, etc,
GAIL HANBIDGE,
