According to statistics released by the country’s Central Statistics Office (CSO) on Wednesday, the rate of enforced deprivation more than doubled between 2008 and 2013, RT reported.
Enforced deprivation is a manner of poverty in which the inflicted lack two or more necessities of a comfortable standard of living, for example sufficient funds for proper food, heating and clothing.
The research was conducted by analyzing Irish citizens’ income and living conditions throughout 2013.
Michael Taft, a trade unionist and political economy expert, said that the country “is riddled with high levels of poverty and deprivation.”
He added that the number of Irish citizens living with enforced deprivation is a “social and moral indictment of the priorities of a government that privileges tax cuts over poverty-reduction.”
Of the over 1.3 million people living without basic essentials in Ireland, over 440,000 are children and over 90,000 are pensioners.
