Poverty will continue without Government reforms, says SVP
Speaking at the Patrick MacGill Summer School in Glenties, Co Donegal, SVP head of social justice and policy John-Mark McCafferty said that, despite becoming richer in the past decade, Irish society has also become more unequal.
"Of children in the 0-14 age group, 148,000 are in consistent poverty. This means they are in a low-income family and also experience deprivation of basic items on a regular basis," he said.
