The Combat Poverty Agency - working for a poverty-free Ireland

Combat Poverty is a statutory organisation responsible for advising the Irish Government on policies to reduce poverty in Ireland.

Since 1986 we have played a key role in influencing anti-poverty policies and in raising public awareness of the existence and experience of poverty in Ireland.

Combat Poverty continues to work to ensure that eliminating poverty remains a national priority, and that social and economic policies are directed at improving the lives of the most vulnerable in Irish society.
