Not one of our asks was delivered in #Budget2026.
Foster carers continue to provide safe, loving homes for Irelandâs most vulnerable children but without fair financial and practical support, this system is at breaking point.

Children in foster care canât wait months or years for trauma supports. With only 6 Tusla hubs, too many go without help. Weâre calling on Govt to invest in nationwide therapeutic hubs. #FosteringABetterFuture #Budget2026
