National Traveller MABS National Traveller MABS works to reduce poverty and the financial exclusion of Travellers

National Traveller MABS is part of the National network of Money Advice and Budgeting Services (MABS) around the country that addresses the problem of money lending and over indebtedness. National Traveller MABS was established in January 2005 to support MABS services nationally on issues relating to the Traveller community nationally in relation to MABS and money matters. Its predecessor, Exchange House MABS identified the lack of access to legal and affordable savings and credit as its main concern. National Traveller MABS aims to address this issue through its core objectives.

Chickenpox vaccine for children
💭 If your child was born on or after 1 October 2024, you can get a free chickenpox vaccine for them. This is part of their childhood vaccinations.
💉 There are 2 doses. Your child can get the first dose of the vaccine from your GP when they are 12 months old.
👩‍⚕️ They can get the second dose in junior infants.
📢 If your child was born before 1 October 2024, and you want your child to get the vaccine, you can ask your GP, but you will have to pay for it.

Need to take time off to look after your child?

🤒 If your child is sick or injured unexpectedly or you have a family crisis, you have a right to take limited time off to look after them. This is called force majeure leave and can be used for close family members.

📅 When you take force majeure leave you can take one or more days up to a maximum of:

✅ 3 days in 12 consecutive months, or
✅ A total of 5 days in 36 consecutive months (3 years)

💭 You get paid while you are on force majeure leave. If your employer allows you to take extra force majeure leave, you should check if it is paid.

📢 You can't be unfairly dismissed for taking force majeure leave, or for asking to take it.
