Channel: Arjen van der Horst - Foreign correspondent · 2013 · News & Politics
Breda McCarthy has always led a simple life. She was never in debt, she and her husband only had a mortgage for a three bedroom house, she always went on holiday in her own country and still drives the car she bought before Ireland went trhough its boom and bust. Still, like many Irish, she is struggling. She and her husband lost their job and there are times she has not enough money to buy food. One daughter has emigrated, her second daughter is about to emigrate. The crisis is tearing her family apart.
