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.
At the end of November 2023, the number of customers in receipt of Child Benefit in Cork City and County was 72,546. A breakdown by town and city is not available so, unfortunately, a breakdown of recipients in Cork City only is not available.
I trust this clarifies the situation.
