Ireland Eight - Text

I come from Ennis, County Clare, which is on the West coast, and Ennis is a small town, but it’s nice, it’s attractive and West Clare is, I think one of the nicest parts of the country. Um, I’m living in Dublin a year and a half now working in theatre, and I’m…my family- this is my parents and two sisters and brother, I’ve- twins in the family who are brother and sister and I’m the youngest. And…my sister just got engaged so she’s getting married in two years’ time. So- but I’m moving home after this, next week for a few months to save, ‘cos it’s cheaper in Ennis, the rent and bills aren’t as much as Dublin. And I’m going to New Zealand the end of the year.
