Before coming to its real root of the problems, I am really eager to define what poverty is about.
Poverty is the state of having little or no money and few or no material possessions, or Poverty refers to the condition of not having the means to afford basic human needs such as clean water, nutrition, health care,education, clothing and shelter. This is also referred to as absolute poverty or destitution or A situation in which a person or household lacks the resources necessary to be able to consume a certain minimum basket of goods. The basket consists either of food, clothing, housing and other essentials (moderate poverty) or of food alone (extreme poverty) or according to Thomas Joseph Abate III (born August 20, 1978, in Lawrence, Massachusetts), The quality or state of being poor or indigent; want or scarcity of means of subsistence; indigence; need; Any deficiency of elements or resources that are needed or desired, or that constitute richness; as, poverty of soil; poverty of the blood; poverty of ideas. From these definitions above, we can deeply learn and comprehend that the indicators are as follows (http://ec.europa.eu/employment_social/social_inclusion/indicators_en.htm):
Income
- At risk of poverty rate
- At risk of poverty rate anchored at a fixed moment in time
- Persistent at risk of poverty rate
- At risk of poverty gap
- At risk of poverty rate before social transfers
- Dispersion around the at risk of poverty threshold
- In-work poverty risk
- S80/S20 income ratio
- Gini co-efficient

- Employment gap of immigrants
- Making work pay indicators (unemployment trap, inactivity trap, low-wage trap)
Education
- Early school leavers
- Persons with low educational attainment
- Low reading literacy performance of pupils
Health
- Healthy life expectancy
- Child well-being (to be developed)
Housing
- Housing (to be developed)
Deprivation
- Material deprivation (to be developed)
- Self reported limitations in daily activities
Poverty and social exclusion can affect all age groups. It is multi-faceted and combating it requires a multi-policy response. This is reflected in the definition of poverty and social exclusion which the Government first adopted in 1997: People are living in poverty if their income and resources (material, cultural and social) are so inadequate as to preclude them from having a standard of living which is regarded as acceptable by Irish society generally. As a result of inadequate income and resources people may be excluded and marginalised from participating in activities which are considered the norm for other people in society.
Related to this condition, the government needs to take action to how to end poverty in this country by not discussing any political discourse for the sake of their interests and party. The people are now waiting for their leader to feed the people who are hungry and educate them who don't send to school and heal their wound.
The state leaders recently are busy to thrash out their interest and party than people basic needs. This tendency emerges because the leading party has felt that the next competitor will come behind them (stab on their back and try to fight to have people votes for the next 2014 general election) and this will attack and annoy their own 2014 general election votes at risk.
A simple question as contemplation:
Do you feel that they (the poorer) are animal that is why you (government) don't pay more serious attention to fight for them. Or probably in your philosophy that the poorer is a rational animal that s/he is unnecessary to love, care and do the most invaluable things for them to rise them up?
Government never has consistency to apply what the 1945 constitution firmly states that all people have the same right to live economically, educationally, and equal before the law. If it is so, the people is their turns to ask to the government to reapply this 1945 constitution. If this is only a mere statement (useless), the government needs to burn this articles and change another articles which can legalize their own interests. Please think your people because you are now a leaders and benefit from your position due to their votes for you guys. Behave well my leaders by fighting for your people interests.
