Children in poverty would fill Croke Park
The charity said the number of children in poverty, enough to fill Croke Park for next Sunday’s All-Ireland final, was often forgotten as the country enjoys its economic success.
Barnardos chief executive Owen Keenan said: “The debate on child poverty tends to be very sterile, full of graphs and tables. But to us, it’s a reality with children who are hungry and not properly clothed.”
