Reducing and ultimately eliminating poverty is a fundamental aspiration of Irish society and is a commitment of the Irish Government. Following a comprehensive review of the poverty target in the National Action Plan for Social Inclusion 2007-2016, the Government agreed to revise and enhance the re-named national social target for poverty reduction. The National Social Target for Poverty Reduction is to reduce consistent poverty to 4 per cent by 2016 (interim target) and to 2 per cent or less by 2020, from a baseline rate of 6.2 per cent in 2010. The Europe 2020 Strategy, adopted a poverty target to lift at least 20 million people out of the risk of poverty or exclusion by 2020 (using 2010 as baseline year). Member states are required to set out parallel national targets as a means of meeting the EU target, using either national or EU indicators of poverty. Ireland’s contribution to the EU poverty target under Europe 2020 is to lift a minimum of 200,000 people out of the risk of poverty or exclusion by 2020, from a 2010 baseline. There are two national sub-targets for reducing poverty among children and jobless households. These two groups were identified as meriting specific policy attention given their higher risk of consistent poverty and their importance in terms of overall social and economic policy. Additional indicators will be used to monitor progress towards the target and the monitoring and implementation of the target will be strengthened.

Ardmhian bhunúsach an tsochaí Éireannaigh is ea bochtaineacht a laghdú agus, ar deireadh, í a dhíothú, agus is gealltanas de chuid Rialtas na hÉireann é seo. Tar éis athbhreithniú cuimsitheach ar sprioc na bochtaine sa Phlean Gníomhaíochta Náisiúnta um Chuimsiú Sóisialta 2007-2016, d’aontaigh an Rialtas an sprioc náisiúnta shóisialta um bochtaineacht a laghdú (é athainmithe) a athbhreithniú agus a fheabhsú. Is é an Sprioc Náisiúnta Shóisialta um Bochtaineacht a Laghdú bochtaineacht chomhsheasmhach a laghdú go dtí 4% faoi 2016 (sprioc eatramhach) agus godtí 2% nó níos lú ná sin faoi 2020, ó ráta bonnlíne de 6.2% in 2010. Ghlac an Straitéis Eorpach 2020 sprioc bhochtaineachta d’fhonn 20 milliún duine ar a laghad a thabhairt as baol na bochtaineachta nó an eisiaimh faoi 2020 (le 2010 mar bhliain bhonnlíne). Ceanglaítear an Bhallstáit spriocanna náisiúnta a fhreagraíonn ar a chéile chun críocha sprioc an AE a chomhlíonadh, ag úsáid táscairí náisúnta nó táscairí AE na bcohtaineachta. Cabhróidh Éire le sprioc bochtaineachta an AE a bhaint amach faoi Eoraip 2020 trí 200,000 duine a thabhairt as baol na bochtaineachta nó an eisiaimh faoi 2020, as bonnlíne 2010. Tá dhá fho-sprioc náisiúnta d'fhonn bochtaineacht i measc páistí agus teaghlach atá amuigh as obair a laghdú. Aithníodh an dá ghrúpa seo mar ghrúpaí ar gá leo aird ar leith a thabhairt orthu agus beartas á cheapadh mar gheall ar bhaol níos airde na bochtaineachta comhsheasmhach agus a dtábhacht i dtéarmaí an bheartais fhoriomlán shóisialta agus eacnamaíochta. Úsáidfear táscairí breise chun monatóireacht a dhéanamh ar dhul chun cinn na sprice agus neartófar monatóireacht agus cur chun feidhme na sprice.
