  4. I come out of my house walk down a street where people are paying €1,000 a week for a small room in a house. The lighting on the street is those horrible orange lights as soon as I get to the corner there is litter all round and the bins are out they are always out from one week to the next. Did I mention the seagulls overhead screaming since 6 in the morning and ready to pounce on any rubbish put out in black bags that will be quickly torn to shreds! As I walk by the Black Church you see the derelict flats with rubbish everywhere signage advertising back lane businesses and then you pause to count the number of homeless hostels! Remember I’m only 3 or 4 minutes from my house and approximately 7 minutes from the GPO in O’Conell Street! I decide to walk down past SF’s offices to Parnell Street and then go down Bucharest Moore Street. I have to take cognisance of my surroundings to remind myself that I am an Irish person living in “Ireland”! I pop into Lidl and again 90% of the customers are non nationals! There are cardboard boxes in doorways and lots of dodgy drug addicts trying to hustle for a living as they look at bicycles that might not have strong enough locks. As I walk up Bucharest Moore Street all the grossly overweight women in colourful frumpy skirts and buggies outnumber everyone but most are huddling on the pavements doing whatever they do eating sunflower seeds scattering the shells everywhere and drinking copious amounts of red bull and other energy drinks. The welfare is double this week as the government attempt to soften people up for the next power grab. I continue and arrive outside the GPO and am just in time to witness feeding time at the zoo as all the down and outs arrive to be fed cheap sandwiches and other treats! Ohh yes one of the richest countries!
