I wish to echo the sentiment in Paddy Henry’s letter “Ireland is no country for young people” (June 22). The Covid-19 pandemic and its effects have exposed the awful conditions people, particularly young people and those on low incomes, put up with.

Many of us live in over-priced, over-crowded and sub-standard accommodation. While this has been well known for many years, it was thrown into sharp focus by the various lockdowns and lack of available space for many.
