Turkey could be canned this Christmas. 😉

Aoife saying it would be unfair to bring a child into the world when she is homeless. There's so many people in Ireland and the world who couldn't care less, and expect their governments to pay for everything.

I feel sorry for Aoife as she sounds very intelligent and speaks so much sense.

Very articulate lady, she needs to get involved in politics and try make a difference!!

I recall what it was like growing up in 1980's Ireland where, if one was "lucky" enough, after studying business in the RTC you might get into an entry level post in de banks or as a trainee manager in one of the supermarket chains paying about £5k per year. That was pretty desolate too after spending a couple of years in college and so the only alternative in many of our eyes was emmigration. You didn't have much hope of getting onto the property ladder on that money in those years either.

I guess, in spite of what she's saying, if you want something bad enough you'll get it eventually, even if sometimes that might require cutting your cloth to measure (i.e getting to hell out of Dublin!) or modifying your outgoings and lifestyle to match your earnings (a concept incredibly challenging for many millennelials, as well as DJ Carey!)
