A study, which shows many parents are cutting back their meals to feed their children properly, has been described as shameful.
41 per cent of parents limited their own food intake to make sure their kids had enough, according to Barnardos.
This represents a 12 per cent jump on last year.
People Before Profit TD Richard Boyd Barrett says it’s a disgrace:
"The cost of living crisis is not over for huge numbers of people, and it is quite sickening and shameful that it is happening in a country which is spectacularly wealthy, and where corporate profits have quadrupled over the last 10 years"
