Una McKevitt

religious beliefs or whatever yeah like a culture clash to a degree yeah yeah yeah totally and you're you're very tightly knit to each other your destinies are all interconnected yeah you know it's really full-on to be a member of a family yeah yeah definitely yeah who'd do it

relationships with housing um well I don't have one so I'm 50 now I'm renting um I can't my family are kind of clubbing together and trying to send me every scheme and everything in the world to try and get me onto some sort of a footing where

I will own something, the Irish, you know, situation of the Irish dream.

But I've always been sort of somewhat strangely childish about the whole thing, like a little drifty.

Maybe because I'm a late developer, I'm at college late and everything else and I've never...

particularly wanted, I suppose, yeah, maybe the responsibility of it all, or maybe I didn't want to stay in enough to save enough money to sort it out.

So yeah, I think I'm a little bit behind.

I feel like I've aged out of, like, living in other people's spare rooms.

Yeah.

So that's where I'm feeling like I have to do something about this.

Yeah.

Because you are compromised.

Yeah.

And, you know, I have higher standards for myself in terms of comfort, whereas before I would just, like, you know, not that arse, like, about my surroundings to a degree.

And now I'm a little bit more, oh, yeah, it would be nice to have, you know, nice things around.

And I love the flat I'm renting in it.

I just can't afford it long term.

So, yeah, in my head, I'm like, oh, God, what am I going to do?

Do I go back into my sister's spare room who has offered it to me so I can save some money?

But I found from living on my own for the last two years and like actually having to worry about these things.
