Do you currently get the universal subsidy of €2.14 an hour through the National Childcare Scheme (NCS)? 👶

Since 31 August 2026, you may qualify for the income-assessed subsidy instead. This is because the income threshold for the income-assessed subsidy is increasing.

⬆️ From the end of August, you can earn up to €68,000 and qualify (the threshold was previously €60,000).

This means you may be able to get a higher childcare subsidy than you currently receive.

New Donors welcome!

As families navigate the return to school and the busy routines of September, the need for blood in our hospitals remains constant.
Every day across Ireland, patients undergoing cancer treatment, major surgery, emergency procedures and treatment for blood disorders rely on life-saving blood donations. Their need doesn't pause because summer has ended or schools have reopened.
As daily routines become busier, blood donation appointments are often postponed. But hospital demand continues every day. By taking just one hour to donate blood, you can help ensure that patients receive the treatment they urgently need.
This back-to-school season, please make time to give blood. Your donation could make all the difference for someone whose life depends on it.

✅ Not be sold or subdivided separately from your main home
✅ Not reduce the private open space for the main house to less than 25 square metres
✅ Not have a separate utility connection from the main house, such as water
✅ Be at least 0.6 metres away from any wall or boundary
✅ Not be used for short-term letting

You can request a copy of the personal data that an organisation has on you.

🏛 This is your fundamental right under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

There isn’t a set way to request this information. But, there is some general guidance you should follow to avoid delays or confusion:

📫📧️ Ask in writing, by letter or email. Asking for your personal data is known as ‘making an access request’ or a ‘data subject access request’ (DSAR).

👨‍💼 Send the request to the organisation’s Data Protection Officer (DPO). Most large organisations have a DPO. You should be able to find their contact details on the organisation’s website.

🎯 Make your request as specific as possible, highlighting the personal data that you want to access.

📁 Say if you want the information in electronic format (computer files) or in hard copy (on paper).

🪪 The organisation may ask for evidence of your identity, so be prepared to give this.

💶 There is generally no fee for making an access request.

🗓️ The organisation must respond to your request within a month.

🔎 Learn more about accessing your data ➡️https://bit.ly/GDPR_DataAccess

Need time off work to look after your children?

You can take paid leave from work, without it affecting your annual leave balance, in certain circumstances.

🤒 For example, if your child becomes suddenly ill or injured, you can take paid 'force majeure leave'. You can take up to 3 days in 12 consecutive months, or a total of 5 days in 36 consecutive months.

👶🍼 Or, if you have a baby, you can take up to 9 weeks parent's leave. You can claim a Parent's Benefit payment of €299 per week during this time. This is paid by the Department of Social Protection (DSP) and is available as long as you have enough PRSI contributions. You must take parent’s leave before your baby turns 2.
