Really? Have a read of the comments section in The Journal today about Alone lobbying for a €20 increase in pensions. Very little sympathy for the long term unemployed. My comment is based on the ESRI report.

An organisation which lobbied for Pensioners lobbying for an increase in the State Pension. Who would have thunk it?! I'm shocked.

I don't know what your comment means. I do understand the link.

That shows that people who own their homes are far less likely to live in poverty. Pensioners are most likely to own their homes. Therefore I still don't understand the point you were making.

An article that leads me to conclude that Grumpy Old Ferriter didn't inherit much from his parents!
