Parents on pandemic payment can claim back to school allowance (https://www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/parents-on-pandemic-payment-can-claim-back-to-school-allowance-1013361.html) (BreakingNews.ie)

Quote
Parents who are receiving the Pandemic Unemployment Payment will be entitled to claim the Back To School Clothing and Footwear allowance.  The Department of Social Protection is making €153 million available to include parents who have lost their jobs due to Covid-19 - up from €53 million last year.  The allowance is worth €150 for a child aged between 4 to 11, and €275 for 12 to 22 years old.

There are certain conditions you will need to meet to qualify for back to school clothing and footwear allowance such as:
- You are getting a qualifying payment from the department or an approved training course or employment scheme.
- You have a child between 4 and 17 or between 18 and 22 in secondary education
- You are getting an increase for a qualified child (applies in most cases).
- You satisfy a means test.
