Please join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack In this podcast Rory discusess the issues of rising deprivation and homelessness amongst Ireland's children, with Tanya Ward, Director of the Children's Rights Alliance. The number in children experiencing enforced deprivation has increased from 200,000 to 257000 between 2021 and 2023, while the number of children homeless with their families has increased by 87% since 2021, yet we have billions in Budget Surplus. We discuss how the lifting of the eviction ban resulted in an increase in children and families in homelessness and the on-going cost of living crisis for families, the failure of government to implement targeted measures, and the public support for new initiatives from free school books to school meals. We highlight the need to continue to hold the ambition and hope to end child poverty and child and family homelessness. Support Rory and Dignity for Palestine:https://www.patreon.com/posts/111983961
