One in three Irish people are struggling to make ends meet during the ongoing cost of living crisis, new research has found.
It comes as pressure grows on the Government to extend several temporary measures put in place last year that are due to expire at the end of next month. This includes reductions in the excise duty on petrol and VAT that have been in place since last March.
A new Red C/WIN International survey published today has found that 30% of the Irish population say that they struggling financially. This increases amongst people aged between 35 and 54, with 37% of this group struggling.
