‘I cannot afford the weekly essentials’

MOTHER-OF-FOUR Glynis Curtis has had her annual benefits cut by almost the Taoiseach’s weekly wage.

The lone parent said she is already struggling to make ends meet, often walking out of supermarkets without essentials when she reaches her weekly budget.

“I feel like burying my head in the sand, but I have to get up and get on with it,” she said.
