But the young people of Ireland are part of that, too.

We have been totally failed by the government.

You know, where I mean, where does that leave your future?

Like for myself, it feels, you know, sometimes it feels a bit bleak, to be honest.

Like the talks, every time we go to the pub to have a few pints, you know, it always kind of comes back to how hard things are for people.

For myself and my partner, our future does look hopeful.

Like I work two jobs to try and keep up with the cost of living crisis.

receiving as best we can any penny that I have at the end of the month.

So, Eimear, how does that work, the two jobs?

So, I work Monday to Friday.

I have a 9-5 job and then I also have a kind of small grind school that I set up back home in Gors.

I do low-cost grind, so I never charge more than €30 per student so that more people can afford them.

So, to be honest, by the time all the students were corrected and

I have about 15 students all in all across different groups.

So that's up to about an extra day a week that I'm, you know, that I'm doing.

So, you know, but it's the only way to make ends meet and, you know, to give up any bit of luxuries at all and just keep at it.

And this isn't what we were raised with.

You talked about it earlier with Adam and Jack and, you know, they, like, there's no let up and, like, you're looking at

the kind of boom periods that had its own faults, for sure.

But it was easy to earn and it was easy to spend and it was easy to save.
