Back to school costs are amongst the biggest financial sturggles for most families, with some parents even falling into debt to cover the price of uniforms, books and school fees.
The Irish League of Credit Unions indicated this year that parents are now spending on average €999 on primary school children and well over €1,300 on secondary school children.
Children's charity Barnardos recently slammed the notion of Ireland having a free educational system as back to school costs continue to rise each year.
