There are delays to child benefit and other social welfare payments to a number of Irish banks this morning.
The Department of Social Protection has said it is looking into the matter after a number of social welfare and children's allowance recipients did not get their payments due this morning
Permanent TSB has issued a statement to say that, due to European payment delays, inter-bank payments that are normally processed in the early hours of the morning have yet to be received by the bank.
Ulster Bank has also issued a statement to its customers on Twitter saying they are aware of an "industry-wide payments issue" that has delayed credits being applied to Irish bank accounts.
We are aware there is an Industry wide Payments issue that has delayed some credits being applied to ROI Bank customer accounts. Investigations are ongoing to be able to apply these credits to customers accounts as soon as possible. https://t.co/25K9Vm8L8H
