A charity official has said one parent families are scrimping on their food and energy bills as inflation mounts.
Niamh Kelly is the policy manager of One Family, Ireland's national organisation for one parent families. She said that single parents are struggling more than ever due to inflation and called on the government to introduce targeted supports for affected families.
One Family offers practical advice and support to lone parents. Although the group wants to focus on the strength and resilience of one parent families on Single Parents Day, Niamh said that the lack of current supports must be highlighted.
