Individuals and families living on or below the poverty line should not be made to pay for the economic crisis.
We called on the government not to cut basic social welfare payments in the budget and to reintroduce the Christmas payment. On Monday January 11th we launched a report analysing the impact that the Budget cuts will have on low income families. The report outlines how the cuts will be worst for children, lone
parents, unemployed people, those entering the labour market for the first time
and people with disabilities. To read the report click here.
