Listen back to our CEO @Tanya_Ward on @PatKennyNT regarding the very sad news from Donaghmede on the death of a 17-year-old. https://t.co/8iQIsinycs

"This is an exceptional and rare incident in a residential setting for children. It is vitally important that the next step is an independent review by the National Review Panel to establish the circumstances of the death." Read our media statement here: https://t.co/xtFhO4eop7

Further coverage of the death of a 17-year-old boy in Donaghmede. Our Chief Executive @Tanya_Ward spoke to Paul Reynolds at @rtenews. "This is a very rare event that an unaccompanied minor has died in a setting like this." https://t.co/JDrIPm15jj

More than 320 children were placed in three or more different care placements last year, leading to concern about the stability of the children in the care system. https://t.co/P7wu4cquV5

Our CEO Derval McDonagh was interviewed on @morningireland today about Inclusion Ireland's reaction to Budget 2026. You can listen back to it here: https://t.co/lpRE5ytWDE

While Budget 2026 includes another year of increased investment in Youth Affairs & the importance of youth work is recognised in the new Department, a rise of less than 13% is not sufficient to meet the lived realities of services & falls short of the sectoral €21.3m ask

Our CEO Teresa Heeney will soon join @drivetimerte to discuss our reaction to #Budget2026. 📻Tune in here after 5h30pm. https://t.co/JxRROnQZ0Y

"There are key targeted supports announced today that sow the seeds for real change. However, the lacklustre action in some areas leaves the Government with a long road ahead if they are to realise their own child poverty target.” #Budget2026 reaction: https://t.co/BFxE6yDmHR

Our members go above & beyond to ensure children have access to the essentials. But the need at their door is increasing. #Budget2026 must prioritise investment in measures to address food poverty. @AnewSupport @young_ballymun @Foroige @MwRefuge @EdelHouseCork @ncn4children

"In-person youth spaces are vital lifelines in the digital age" NYCI's @kathrynreilly Walsh is speaking to Pat Kenny next about our research on this, and the need to invest in youth work services in tomorrow's #Budget2026. #YouthWorkChangesLives

For our members, and the children and families they support, their focus is not on Tuesday. It is on the looming mid-term break when they will be faced with an all-consuming worry about how they will keep food on the table - writes Tanya Ward, CEO. https://t.co/ptDzXjU5By

"To reduce child poverty, we believe measures must combine adequate core rates for adults, with targeted supports for children," say @SVP_Ireland “When core income is insufficient, basic needs are cut back and problem debts rise.” #Budget2026 https://t.co/dPKEIU72rD

Our members go above and beyond to ensure children and families have access to the essentials. But more and more are seeing food poverty at their door. #EndChildPoverty #Budget2026 @AnewSupport @young_ballymun @Foroige @MwRefuge @EdelHouseCork
