🚨 NEW RESEARCH LAUNCHED🚨
This week, @ucc.ie, @tcddublin.bsky.social and One Family, launched critical new research on lone parents in third-level education. The findings are clear: systemic policy failures are preventing parents who are ready to learn and work from accessing the education they need.

New important research highlights a severe affordability gap for one-parent families access to healthy food.
For a one-parent household on State benefits with two young children, a healthy food shop costs €122— that's 28% of take-home income. That's 12% higher than if the adult earned minimum wage.
