Wake-up call for Government on parents’ back-to-school costs
THE BARNARDOS report on parents who have to dip into their savings to meet back-to-school costs should be “a wake-up call” for the Government, according to a TD.
Sinn Féin TD for Dublin South West, Seán Crowe, said in a statement that the figures reported by Barnardos last week “lay bare the need for a cost-of-living package in this year’s Budget.”
