I can't help wonder how other people are coping that aren't in the position I am."Maeve Kiely, from Glengoole, a small village in rural Tipperary, told Prime Time that she has no option other than driving to work as a pharmacy assistant in Cashel, which is 20km from her home."Generally, I used to get €25 of diesel and it would keep me going for the week.

It is impossible for someone without any nepotism, certain qualifications or lengthy experience (that they can't get without said qualifications) to get a one bedroom apartment, car and feed themselves. Let that sink in. That's a failed state. Our grandfathers died for this state
While all Irish citizens struggling… Government going to rent a hotel for 2 years to host refugees from Ukraine 🤷♂️ I understand they need help but how are they different from any other refugees arriving into the country and our own homeless people here in Ireland?
