State has failed to keep promise to children on mental health

The report suggests that while there has been “game-changing progress” in some areas, there is still a long-road to deliver for the most vulnerable.

The Government has “failed to keep its promise” to children on mental health and remains “miles behind” on housing, a new report has said.

The annual report card published on Tuesday by the Children’s Rights Alliance grading the Government on whether it has delivered on its commitments to children in Ireland suggests that while there has been “game-changing progress” in some areas, there is still a long-road to deliver for the most vulnerable.
