The Child Poverty Monitor will document, analyse and report on child poverty in Ireland. On 10 June, Children’s Rights Alliance launched the latest edition of their annual Child Poverty Monitor – the fourth report in a unique series analysing Government progress and action to address child poverty.

“A childhood in poverty is one spent in cold, dark and damp housing, travelling hours just to get to school or knowing that there won’t be a hot dinner for the rest of the week. Thousands of families are being forced to live on such tight margins that they live in constant fear of their child needing a hospital visit or getting a letter home about the next school trip.”
Tanya Ward, CEO, Children’s Rights Alliance
