Minister for children Frances Fitzgerald launches the National Policy Framework for Children and Young People 2014-2020 with Tanaiste Eamonn Gilmore and Taoiseach Enda Kenny in attendance.
It’s an action plan for the kids.

…‘Action Plan for Children’.‘Better Outcomes: Brighter Futures’ is built on the Government’s Medium-Term ‘Strategy for Growth’ which recognised that our increasing child and youth population is a significant resource for our country; and further recognised that ensuring the best possible outcomes for this group is therefore an important element in our future economic planning….

Mmmf.
