This week I came across posts from working families in Ireland that genuinely stopped me in my tracks.
A nurse with two children and a full-time working husband unable to afford heating oil or groceries. A Garda family with five children struggling to make ends meet despite both parents working.
These are not people who aren’t trying—these are essential workers doing everything right, yet still falling behind.
Something is clearly broken when full-time working families in Ireland cannot afford basic necessities like heat and food.
This is no longer a rare situation—it is becoming the reality for more and more households across the country.
