I very much welcome the news today that the child benefit scheme has been extended to include 18-year-olds in full-time education. This is highly socially progressive and by my calculations, it will benefit those young adults to the tune of at least €1,680 a year. I ask the Minister to outline to the House when people can start benefiting from the changes that were agreed at Cabinet today and any other information she may have.
