Back-to-school costs continue to climb in 2025, with parents spending €1,450 for primary and €1,560 for secondary students. This marks a large rise from last year. A third of parents are now taking on debt to manage these expenses. Many are being forced to cut back, with 35% skipping at least one school item for their children. ![]()

The Irish League of Credit Unions found that fewer parents are relying on monthly income, while more are turning to savings and loans. Family holidays remain the biggest sacrifice, with 37% of parents giving them up, and nearly one in five now cutting back on food to cope with rising school-related costs.![]()

Auto-enrolment is a new retirement savings scheme being introduced in Ireland in 2026. It is designed to help workers build up savings for retirement. It’s aimed at employees aged 23 to 60 who earn €20,000 or more per year and don’t already have an additional pension.![]()

Eligible workers will be automatically enrolled, with the option to opt out or pause contributions after six months. Contributions will start at 1.5% from both the employee and employer, rising every three years to reach 6% each by year 10. ![]()

The system is designed to be simple for employers, with the National Automatic Enrolment Retirement Savings Authority (NAERSA) managing most of the process, including enrolment, contribution calculations, and payroll notifications. This scheme will run alongside the State Pension and aims to ensure a better standard of living in retirement.![]()
