The estimated full year cost of increasing maternity, paternity benefit and adoptive benefit by €10 per week is as follows:
|
Maternity Benefit |
Paternity Benefit |
Adoptive Benefit |
|
€10.4m |
€0.6m |
€0.005m |
The costs shown above are on a full year basis and are based on the estimated number of recipients in 2021. It should be noted that these costings are subject to change in the context of emerging trends and associated revision of the estimated numbers of recipients.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
