Hello,

There's a lot of fuss in the press that a parent can claim rent relief when paying for a 3rd level student child, renting a room specifically for the education.

Does this only apply to renting in Ireland? What if the child studies in another EU country?
 
What do you mean by "rent relief"?
Do you actually mean the rent tax credit?

Rent Tax Credit

www.revenue.ie
The further guidance linked from that page mentions students on courses in other countries so I presume that the credit may be available for students studying abroad.

No. The residential property must be in the state.

Ah, you're correct. I missed this in the further guidance doc.
