This is Barnardos’ Children’s Budget 2008

Abstract

The recommendations we are putting forward in the Children’s Budget 2008 stand to benefit all children living in Ireland but specifically those living in poverty. Children living in poverty need targeted income help for their families and access to basic health and education services if they are to be lifted out of this situation. That lift will only come when government, politicians and government departments, prioritise children’s wellbeing and make the necessary investment in supporting the most vulnerable families.
