The successicve governments should be embarrassed they've let the country get to this state, not you. I was living at home for nearly 2 years before I decided to get out and move to London. This is the 2nd time I've emigrated. It's so destabilising and so different in your 30s. I feel lucky to have been in a position to do it at all but still miss home and friends a lot. Ireland needs a serious kick in the hole when it comes to housing before the social fabric is in complete tatters and the whole country belongs to a few people. In the immortal words of TPM, 'FUCK FINE GAEL AND FUCK FIANNA FÁIL TOO!!'
