My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

First year selling my art at Christmas without the Other site, where most of my sales came from, as well as losing US orders to new tariffs, so it'll be a tough one - I put huge work into every order, so even if you can't buy, shares help get them in front of eyes. GRMA! www.ciaraioch.com/artprints

Friend of mine can't find anywhere to rent in the rural part of Cork where he is from and works.
But there are 100s of AirBnB properties up for 'mid term' or 'six month' rent - u just have to be gone by May & tourist season. With nowhere to go
We have made working Irish ppl homeless or nomadic.
