Sinn Féin have put together a survey of their members and supporters in the greater Dublin area to ascertain the true extent to which families are struggling financially and are being pushed into the hand of money lenders.
Sinn Féin called for the reintroduction of the Christmas Welfare Bonus to stop families being forced to go to moneylenders, and to boost the local economy. They are also the only representative party in the Dail who oppose the introductions of mass cuts in the next budget.
The party has also surveyed Dublin dole queues and post offices over the past two weeks to get a fuller picture of the hardships being endured by ordinary families this winter.
The research findings will be presented at the gates of Leinster House this morning by Sinn Féin Spokesperson on Social Protection Aengus Ó Snodaigh
