爱尔兰儿童委员会表示,尽管福利略有增加,2026年预算未能解决儿童贫困问题。 Ireland's Children’s Committee says Budget 2026 fails to fix child poverty despite modest benefit increases.

爱尔兰儿童委员会批评2026年预算未能有效解决儿童贫穷问题,尽管政府声称优先处理弱势群体。 Ireland's Children’s Committee has criticized Budget 2026 for not effectively tackling child poverty, despite government claims of prioritizing vulnerable groups. 12岁和12岁以上儿童的儿童抚养费增加16欧元,年幼儿童增加8欧元,同时核心社会福利金增加10欧元,但倡导者说,这些变化没有解决系统性问题。 While the Child Support Payment increased by €16 weekly for children aged 12 and over and €8 for younger children, along with a €10 rise in core social welfare payments, advocates say the changes fall short of addressing systemic issues. 包括爱尔兰社会正义组织在内的批评者认为,预算缺乏长期战略,而且没有为低收入家庭提供超过现有支付额的有意义的支持。 Critics, including Social Justice Ireland, argue the budget lacks long-term strategy and meaningful support for low-income families beyond existing payments. 委员会将召开一次委员会会议,审查儿童贫穷的根源,包括住房、食物和保健无保障问题,并听取倡导团体的意见,并进行公众现场直播。 A committee meeting will examine root causes of child poverty, including housing, food, and healthcare insecurity, with input from advocacy groups and live public streaming.
