    Abstract

    The study focuses on a broad range of internationally recognised child outcomes with a view to documenting how well children in Ireland are developing. In so doing, it will facilitate comparison with findings from similar studies of children in other countries, as well as establishing typical patterns for children within Ireland. Being longitudinal in nature, the study also clearly addresses developmental trajectories over time and explores the factors which most impact on those trajectories and on the life chances of children in Ireland today. By providing comprehensive data on a representative national sample of Irish children, the study informs and contributes to the setting of responsive policies and the design of services for children and their families. The study focuses on two cohorts of children. The younger cohort (the Infant cohort based on 11,134 children and their parents and other main caregivers) was recruited when the children were nine months of age. The second cohort is based on 8,568 children and their main caregivers, which was recruited when the children were nine years of age.
