Clare Households Urged To Plan Expenditure Well In Advance To Avoid Mounting Arrears
Parents and Guardians in Clare are being strongly advised to plan their expenditure well in advance of the school term. The lates survey from the Irish League of Credit Unions published this week, found that 70% of parents were struggling with the financial burden of covering back to school costs. The report also showed that households were getting into an average debt of €306 per annum to cover education fees. Louis Fay from St.Francis Credit Union in Ennis says it is vital that parents suitably structure their repayments over a twelve month period to avoid mounting arrears.
