Social welfare in County Dublin

Who claims in Dublin, and who may be missing out

These lines come from the Missing Money Index: the Department of Social Protection's recipients in Dublin (2026, April to June ) divided by the people the payment is for in Census 2022. It is a take-up index, not a count of who is eligible: the Census holds no income. The lowest line is the one to ask about.

• Household Benefits Package: 90,675 get it, against 137,189 people aged 70 or over. Index 104 (100 is the national rate), above the national rate by 3,507 people. No means test from age 70.
• Carer's Allowance: 24,504 get it, against 25,618 carers giving 29 or more hours of unpaid help a week. Index 91 (100 is the national rate), which is 2,431 people short of the national rate. Means-tested (the partner's income counts).
• Disability Allowance: 42,337 get it, against 58,839 people aged 15 to 64 with a disability to a great extent. Index 89 (100 is the national rate), which is 5,245 people short of the national rate. Means-tested (the partner's income counts).

If you are over 70 and not getting it, the guide is here; if you are a carer, start with Carer's Allowance; if you have a disability, Disability Allowance. Or run the free check and see everything at once.

About these figures

Recipients by county are from the Department of Social Protection's open dataset on data.gov.ie; the groups they are set against are from Census 2022 (CSO). The method, caveats and all 26 counties are on the Missing Money Index. Office details come from gov.ie and mabs.ie and are re-read when this page is rebuilt. Last built 15 October 2026. Other counties: Ireland by county. Every Irish support with its amount, on one page: every grant, payment and tax credit in Ireland.
