(Apologies in advance for any typos, it’s difficult to get good help on a Sunday. Also, I use voice to text dictation so just sound out anything that really doesn’t make sense in a strong rural accent and that should help!)

The Ireland of today is vastly different to Ireland of 1991.There are more than 9,000 classified as homeless. 67% of Irish people are homeowners.  https://www.nenaghguardian.ie/2022/04/24/lowry-think-outside-the-box-to-tackle-housing-crisis/
