There are variances between your table and the OECD tables. Just want to check what they are. Unlike you I donāt know everything. Link when you get a chance.
How is poverty defined in Ireland?
How does a government create the kind of poverty described in the report you posted?
The definition of poverty these days seems to bear no resemblance to actual poverty of old, not that thats a bad thing, nor that Iād underestimate the relative poverty of people struggling either.
Poverty these days is defined by low income (60% of the median I think) and how much stuff you can afford to buy, spend on entertainment, etc. Education is and has been the only solution to poverty. Government should try and address the root causes of poverty, which are leaving second level school before graduating and having kids before you can afford them (either emotionally or financially).

Heāll still pay a high rate of tax if he wishes pay himself a decent income
Itās too late for you now but marrying into 300 acres or thereabouts would have been a good start. Youād be eligible for practically free 3rd.level education, possibly an aulā GMS card and assorted grants.
@KinvarasPassion is probably better aware of these benefits and how to secure them but the job has stymied the bulk of them.
Youāll be able to advise your own children going forward.

16 afaik. Open to correction however. You have to be 16 to work legally but you can leave school when you get away with it.

Link for the tables/charts you put up please.
