Year 6 Social Studies Elective

To 6th Year Social Studies students,

Topic: Poverty 
http://www.combatpoverty.ie/povertyinireland/whatispoverty.htm
Here is a link to the Combat Povery Agency website. Combat Povery is no longer a separate statutory agency but its website is still operational online to provide information on this topic.

"On 1 July 2009 Combat Poverty was integrated with the Office for Social Inclusion to form the Social Inclusion Division in the Department of Social and Family Affairs. On 1 May 2010 the Social Inclusion Division transferred to the Department of Community, Equality and Gaeltacht Affairs."

Hope you find this useful,
