Tanya Ward: Homeless and refugee children left behind by broken promises from Government

Some politicians go over and above to deliver change for children and young people, but the Children's Rights Alliance's  report card has found poor outcomes in housing, mental health, and for refugees

There are over 1m children and young people in Ireland. They can’t vote, but they still have to rely on our political leaders to put them first.

At the start of every new government, we see a new set of promises made to children and young people.
