Bord Snip Recommendations Will Cut Childhood Short

Title: Bord Snip Recommendations Will Cut Childhood Short

Summary: The Alliance paper "An Bord Snip: Cutting Childhood Short" gives a detailed account of how the Bord Snip recommendations will have a negative, deep and life-long impact on children. The Children’s Rights Alliance says that the recommendations will cut childhood short, with almost one quarter (€1.28 billion) of the total proposed cuts directly impacting on children and those in disadvantaged families. The Alliance is now urging the Government to use its foresight in deliberating on Bord Snip’s recommendations, most of which have been criticised by the Alliance as ill-conceived, quick-fix, short-term solutions.
