Child Benefit is a monthly payment to the parents or guardians of children under 16 years of age. Child Benefit can also be claimed for children aged 16 and 17 if they are in full-time education or full-time training or have a disability and cannot support themselves.

A breakdown of Child Benefit recipients by town or city is not available. County level statistics are kept and the latest figures for County Cork show there are 71,655 people in receipt of Child Benefit, in respect of 136,014 children.

I trust that this helps answer your query.
