EAPN Ireland Review – Progress Towards Europe 2020

In this latest edition of the EAPN Ireland Review we focus on the Europe 2020 strategy and its implementation, with a particular focus on the poverty target. It contains a briefing on the strategy and a report from workshops carried out in September which looked at the commitments to address poverty and the actual reality throughout the country. The report highlights the impact of the recession and the austerity measures taken by Government and proposals for change from participants. The Review also contains articles from contributors on the Education and Employment targets in the Europe 2020 strategy and blogs from three new TDs (member of the Irish Parliament) on the development of a more social Europe.
