Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection

Pre-Budget Submissions: Discussion with the Society of St. Vincent de Paul and Family Carers Ireland

Dr. Tricia Keilthy:

Most of the households we support would be below the poverty line. However, as I said, that can change and it depends on the cost of living, which can vary from one household to the next, depending on whether a household is in local authority housing, in receipt of housing assistance payment, HAP, or is one with a mortgage and owns a home.
