Budget Statement 2025
Dail Éireann — 2024-10-01
============================================================

Pearse Doherty (SF), Donegal

----- to protect people from the cost-of-living crisis in the here and now, to make a lasting difference in people's lives and to tackle social exclusion and poverty. The Minister, Deputy Donohoe, talked about child poverty being a priority of the Government. Some 230,000 children are currently experiencing material deprivation. This is an increase of almost 30,000 children since 2022. If that is a priority, the Government is fairly failing at it.
