More than one in four children (12-17 year olds) in Ireland now at risk of poverty as Government policy fails families with children
The findings of the CSO study on child poverty published September 6, 2012, are a scandal. In Ireland:
More than 200,000 children now living in poverty as new study shows almost one in five households with children living in poverty.
More than one in four children aged between 12 and 17 are now at risk of poverty.
Income of households with children is far worse hit than households without children.
