Senior Citizens, single parents, workers and students will stage a protest outside the Dáil today over the cost of living crisis.

The groups form part of the newly formed Cost of Living Coalition. They are demanding Government action on energy, food and housing costs.

Protestors want people to join them and bring copies of their household bills.

The Senior Citizens Parliament says older people on pensions can no longer cope with spiraling prices.

It's CEO Sue Shaw says the voice of pensioners is not being heard by the government;

"The reality is that for many people across the life cycle from younger right through to our members who are pensioners, they believe that the government are just not hearing them, that there hasn't been enough effort made to support them."
