Ms Eleanor McClorey:

We welcome this opportunity to speak to the committee on the theme of childhood poverty and on the youngballymun area-based strategy to tackle such poverty. This is an important opportunity to provide detail on the features of our model of work and early indications of the outcomes being achieved by practitioners and children in Ballymun. It is a great day for us to address the committee as Ballymun Kickhams have an important match coming up in a few days.
