The Children's Rights Alliance report found more children are living in consistent poverty than any other age group in Ireland.

More than 236,000 children are experiencing poverty while almost 3,600 children have had their worlds “turned upside-down” due to homelessness, according to the Children’s Rights Alliance (CRA).

The CRA launched its Child Poverty Monitor 2023, which tracked Government progress and action to address child poverty in 2022 and found more children are living in consistent poverty than any other age group in Ireland.
