Launch: Report Card 2026

Online Launch of Report Card 2026–  the first opportunity to assess Government action in commitments made to children and young people

Launch of Report Card 2025

How has the Government progressed on its commitments to children in its first year? Did it keep its promises in important areas like early years, housing, education, child protection, and mental health? Did they keep their promises and get an ‘A’? Or did they fail to meet their commitments with an ‘F’ grade?

Find out at the launch of Report Card 2026 – the first opportunity to assess Government action in commitments made to children and young people under the current Programme for Government - Securing Ireland’s Future. The report will examine key issues for children and young people, outline recommendations needed for progress and seek to ensure children’s rights are safeguarded and promoted in this new Government’s vision for Ireland.

Please save the date for the online launch of Report Card 2026 on the morning of
