The estimated annual cost of increasing the Domiciliary Care Allowance by €1 from €360 per month to €361 per month is €0.78 million.

This costing is based on the estimated average number of recipients in 2025, and is subject to change in light of emerging trends and subsequent revision of the estimated number of recipients.
