One News: Niamh Nolan reports that CORI has published a report that claims poverty is not just affecting the unemployed
The Conference of Religious in Ireland says 750,000 people here are surviving on incomes below the poverty line.
The figures are contained in CORI's annual socio-economic review for 2008, which is published today.

He said those in difficulties often include many people with jobs.
