The Office of the High Commissioner has released its findings – following a review of how children's rights are recognised here.
In January the Minister for Children appeared before the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child in Geneva to discuss Ireland's efforts to provide for children.
This morning the committee released its findings following that review.
The body says it's particularly concerned about how children with disabilities and those who live in direct provision are treated here.
It's called for an increase in child benefit and other financial supports to children – particularly those with disabilities – to bring them in line with the increase in the cost of living.
The committee has praised Ireland's successful exit from the financial bailout but has raised concerns about cuts to departments including the children's ombudsman's office during the crash.
It's again highlighted concerns about discrimination against Traveller and Roma children.
Ireland has until 2021 to submit its next progress report.
