EAPN Ireland is pleased to launch a new book, ‘Ireland and the European Social Inclusion Strategy: Lessons Learned and the Road Ahead’. The book reflects on the progress made in tackling poverty and social exclusion in Ireland while also acknowledging that even at the height of Ireland’s economic success, there remained very significant problems for people at risk of poverty including access to services, low incomes and access to the labour market. The book also sets out a vision for a European Union that serves people and society ahead of powerful lobby groups and economics.
Twelve expert contributors – including representatives from civil society, academia, politics and the civil service – assess the impact of the European Social Inclusion Strategy in Ireland, and set out a roadmap for how European policy can be leveraged to tackle poverty at national level, leading to a fairer and more equal society.
