Abstract

Although not development policies per se, taxation and social policy, as amongst the biggest line items in terms of expenditure and revenue in the state budget, have a very important impact on the distribution of welfare both across families of different incomes and types and across space. Since the early 1990s in Ireland there has been a growing emphasis on spatially targeting policy options in the area of poverty and social exclusion. For example, the National Anti-Poverty Strategy (1997) has a spatial dimension in two of its five priority themes: disadvantaged urban areas and marginalised rural communities. The National Spatial Strategy (2002) presents a national programme of development actions to reduce inter-regional inequality. Within these frameworks, local Partnerships have been utilised as a mechanism to target resources at poverty “blackspots” (Haase and Foley 2009).
