One Family recommends Ministers, TDs, Senators and the architects of Budget 2013 to reflect on its impacts
One Family, Ireland’s leading organisation for one-parent families overviews the potential impacts of Budget 2013. Karen Kiernan, Director of One Family offers her insight, “Household income for lone parents is squeezed once again with 1 in 5 poor children living in a one-parent family, and this is the impact in real terms of the range of cuts and increases in taxes introduced in Budget 2013. We have been working collectively to ameliorate the impacts of Budget 2012. We are now preparing to do the same again as we see the negative impact of Budget 2013! ”
