The mobile generation

IT’S a summer’s weekend in Ireland.

The sun puts on a rave performance and as you drive home from the beach, hair damp and cheeks glowing, listening to delirious children boast about what height waves they conquered, you can’t help but think about booking into a mobile home – again.

Even those living at the centre of this island are little more than a couple of hours from the nearest beach or lakeside and so the mobile home has long played a part in our collective memory of summertime.
