Varadkar may give child benefit to young adults in school

Mr Varadkar said the issue had been raised by newly elected Fianna Fáil TD Frank O’Rourke, who had pointed out that it was quite common for students aged 18 and older to be still at school.
In a Dáil response last week, the minister told Mr O’Rourke that the child benefit scheme was introduced at a time when few children completed transition year.
