Slí Eile: The preoccupation of some economists and commentators with falling prices and how they impact on the 'lower income deciles' is noticeable. The latest entry on irisheconomy can be found here.
An alternative perspective can be found at the new 'poor can't pay' where some background papers have been made available.
There was a debate on this site last week
