Philanthropy fund gives €8m to national child support plan
Children’s Minister James Reilly said the money would mean “a stronger focus on prevention and early intervention rather than crisis management”.
The prevention, partnership, and family support programme will begin this year and will run into 2018 — courtesy of a non-discretionary grant of €8.3m from Atlantic Philanthropies and supported by the Unesco Child and Family Research Centre at NUI Galway.
