Human rights exist not only in troubled parts of the world but here in Ireland as well. I listened on the radio to a distressed young woman who had taken rented accommodation and who has a tiny infant child. Her husband took three days' work and for that they have lost their house because they lost their rent supplement. They were out on the road and their parents took them in. The place is surrounded by ghost houses that could be taken over.
