    OP information on child benefit can be found here: http://www.welfare.ie/EN/Schemes/BirthChildrenAndFamilies/ChildRelatedPayments/Pages/cb.aspx

    You must be habitually resident here to receive it, so if you have just arrived and are not working, more than likely you will not qualify for payment.

    No.

    The children must be resident in the state to claim this benefit.

    Not necessarily, from the link mentioned above:

    If you are an EU/EEA citizen or a Swiss national and work in a country covered by EU Regulations, the country you work in usually pays Child Benefit even if your family is living in another country. However, if your children are living in another EU/EEA country you should still apply for any Family Benefits you are entitled to there.

    If the Family Benefit you get in the country your children are living is less than the Child Benefit payment here, your Irish Child Benefit payment will make up the difference.

    Hi, not you can't claim until you have started working in Ireland, Your children can stay in Italy, but you can't come here and apply for Child Benefit if you have never contributed in the 1st place. (Its not that easy) Do you think the Italian government would give me a cheque if I landed there tomorrow?
