Support Finder for Ireland

A shared pathway guide that points students, workers and retired users towards the most relevant Irish support routes for common money pressures.

  • Different problems need different official routes.
  • MABS is strongest on debt and budgeting support.
  • Citizens Information, Revenue, MyWelfare, SUSI and HSE all have distinct roles.

Resource explainer

Debt or arrears

Start with MABS and specialist debt supports.

Use Citizens Information and MyWelfare.

3

Tax or payroll

Use Revenue and related official guidance.

Match the issue to the right source

A common mistake is looking for every answer in one place. In practice, debt, grants, pensions, tax and mental health supports each have their own strongest official route.

Using the right source first saves time and reduces confusion.

Use support early, not only in crisis

People often wait until a bill is missed, a letter arrives or stress becomes severe. Most support routes are more useful when you go early with a partial problem rather than a full crisis.

That is especially true where applications, housing or debt processes are time-sensitive.
