One of the four functions of Combat Poverty set out in the Combat Poverty Agency Act 1986 is "the examination of the nature, causes and extent of poverty in the State and for that purpose the promotion, commission and interpretation of research". Our research programme seeks to achieve a better public understanding of poverty and to influence appropriate policy responses to poverty in the context of the National Anti-Poverty Strategy. Our work includes:

• Analysis of policies and programmes to tackle poverty including budgetary policy, national, EU anti-poverty strategies, and other relevant policy initiatives
• Conducting and commissioning research into the causes and effects of poverty in Ireland
• Supporting and promoting academic research on poverty
• Research Seminar Programme
