Barnardos launches €100m childcare strategy

Barnardos today launched a €100m strategy and investment programme which seeks to make Ireland the best place in the world for children.

The plan, Valuing Childhood – Cherishing Children, details measures to ensure Ireland cherishes “all the children of the nation equally” as stated in the 1916 Proclamation and aims to reach this goal to coincide with the centenary celebrations of the Easter Rising in 2016.
