Abstract
One of the main characteristics of poverty in rural ireland is its seemingly invisible nature. Rural areas, unlike some urban areas, do not present homogenous areas of advantage and disadvantage, they are diverse and the experience of poverty is often individual and dispersed over a greater geographical area. In many rural areas, disadvantage and marginalization remain significant problems.
