Abstract

At an informal meeting of Directors of research institutes in Ireland in February, I97z, the suggestion was made that the ESRI should organise a conference on research priorities in relation to poverty. The Directors were concerned that, despite rapid economic growth in the i96os, signiifcant problems of poverty remained. Moreover, the reduced economic growth rates since I969, and the resulting increase in unemployment, have intensi~ed concern about poverty and social deprivation. The Directors" suggestion was also inspired by the Conference on Poverty in Ireland held in Kilkenny in November, I97I under the auspices of the Council for Social Welfare.
