Rising cost of living pushes more Irish households into poverty, CSO figures reveal

The CSO added that the 10% of households with the lowest income had an average net disposable income of €309 per week.

The number of people who were at risk of poverty increased in 2024 to 11.7%, according to the latest figures. 

This was up by 1.1% when compared to 2023, but was below the 12.5% rate in 2022.
