The New Irish - After the Bust - RTE 1 Fri 4 May 2012

[C. Flower]

After 10 years working in Ireland, an immigrant worker finds himself unemployed and homeless.

One third of the people on the streets here are migrant workers, legally here, but without work. Injured construction workers, people who have worked all their lives, sending 40-50 CVs out a week... so much like the Irish construction workers in London, but because of the construction crash, even worse off. "Depression, drugs, alcohol."

[C. Flower]

"Quite often people (who have been working) are entitled to nothing at all."
