I propose to take Questions Nos. 619 and 621 together.
The estimated cost of providing a one-off double monthly payment of Child Benefit is €172.7m.
The cost provided is based a double monthly child benefit payment in one month of the year and is based on the estimated number of recipients in 2020.
