In the last few days there was a report issued by Trinity College Policy Institute which gave details of the minimum income required to achieve a basis living standard across a spectrum of cases.

One such case dealt with a pensioner couple.

I cannot find anything on this on the internet.

Does anyone have a link to the report or know what is the figure the instutute came up with.

Thanks
 
I had a look on www.tcd.ie for you.

This is what I found on the homepage.

"Study Establishes Cost of a Minimum Standard of Living for Irish Families
The study, presents the results of a year long research project which establishes the cost of a minimum essential standard of living for individuals and households across the entire lifecycle."

Here is the link to the Press Release:

I find the report hard to decipher.

I'm trying to figure out from it what it suggests as the Minimum Income Standard for a family with three children, all in primary school, with one earned income.

Anyone able to translate all the tables?
 
Thanks.

I still do not see what it is a pensioner couple requires as a minimum though.
 
If you look at table 14 of the report (page 102 of the pdf) it gives the expenditure for a pensioner couple, and then in table 22 (pg 132) it gives the incomes in various scenarios.

Thanks - and I see that rural dwellers don't fare so well as their urban couterparts.
