Primary school children get €10-a-week pocket money

A new survey has reportedly found that parents of primary-school children give their kids an average of €10 every week in pocket money.

Reports this morning say the research by Hibernian Life has also found that secondary-school pupils receive €20-a-week in pocket money, while parents give their third-level students around €68 per week.

Only 15% of parents say do not give their children any pocket money.

Elsewhere, the survey has also found that it costs around €36,000 to support a child through primary, secondary and third-level education.
