Doireann Barrett wakes up in her parents’ house in Tralee and is grateful to have a home, but she yearns for a place of her own. 

Doireann, aged 43, has run a food and wellness business but has been hit with serious health issues and has been out of work for the past 10 months. She cannot afford to move into accommodation by herself.
