I know it is here somewhere else, but to see how this Womans fight has prompted so many to support her,in a time when many in the country- rightly or wrongly call for foreign nationals to go home. This is a lady who wants to go - and in the appropriate manner- she is being helped.

Well done to her friends , for they have done this for her.

I do not know this lady or her friends, but it is soothing to know that there are times when people can pull together to help someone in such need , in such a short timeframe.

It is amazing, as a society I think it has always been this case, the less we have the more we give. Many on here have said that during the "Boom" years we had lost sight of our humanity in favour of chasing the money, talk was of how much my house was valued at how much my mortgage cost whether it was fixed or variable or a tracker and how much we were earning.
For those of you/us who were in primary school in the sixties when money was very very tight, we gave our pennies for the "Black babies", the Biafran war and famine that followed, the famines in Uganda and Bangladesh.
I hope that we are once again becoming a real society of caring communities, I don't think this was actually lost, it was just pushed down in favour of consumerism.
I too fell into the trap of chasing the money, but a few years ago i started to re-evaluate my principles and the ethos I lived by. before this reevaluation I became a UNV went to Darfur and found in myself a spark of humanity and humility I did not know was there. Originally it was for the adventure but as I saw the conditions imposed on the people there and the effects of war on an innocent populace it had a profound affect.
We all don't need this type of epiphany, I did, in the majority of Irish people there is a generosity of spirit and a desire to help those less well off or suffering that makes us a better race for it.
I remember an old adage of my Nana and mam, "there but for the grace of god go I", but i prefer to say "there but for the grace of Fate go I".
Well done to these people.
