Ardara, County Donegal, Ireland. 9th Nov, 2017. Analysis of last year's Census by Pobal shows that small towns have experienced more deprivation during the past decade than any other type of community. Pobal acts as an intermediary for programmes funded by the Irish Government and the EU. Pobal says towns with between 1,000 and 5,000 people were worst hit during the past decade of recession and recovery. Credit: Richard Wayman/Alamy Live News
