The sustainable development goals make a commitment to reducing inequality within a country. Under goal 10, including target 10.1, the Government is committed to progressively achieving and sustaining the income growth of the bottom 40% of the population. Ireland has played a leading role in brokering an agreement on the sustainable development goals but we must continue to demonstrate leadership by implementing them and ensure that we do not fall behind in our commitments.
