Burning Issues

One of the greatest scandals of the Celtic Tiger has been the failure to eliminate homelessness. Indeed, the Celtic Tiger years saw an increase in homelessness. In 1996, there were 2,500 homeless people in Ireland; today, after more than a decade of the Celtic Tiger, 5,000 people are homeless in Ireland. It is still a small number (Intel employs 5,500). The fact that the number is so small makes it all the more scandalous that it has not been eliminated or even reduced.

The Christmas shopping season began very early this year, not only in Ireland, but in most of Europe. We were not really enthused by having the Christmas lights switched on during the early days of November, but recognised it as part of a desperate effort to encourage commerce, and maybe even some comfort shopping.
