Holiday Hunger
That this Assembly notes with grave concern the recent Joseph Roundtree Foundation report, Poverty in Northern Ireland 2022, which estimates that 110,000 children are living in poverty; further notes that due to the absence of a functioning Northern Ireland Executive, funding to provide payments to prevent holiday hunger for 98,000 children over the summer period is not in place; recognises that due to the significant rise in the cost of living, families are being pushed beyond the brink; and calls on the Minister of Education to provide an update on the steps her Department is taking to tackle holiday hunger.
