Patricia Condron

I’m a very active over seventy who only stopped working because of Covid. I miss work and really wonder about retirement. We oldies have so much to offer.

At the very height of @Glen_Hansard's fame, I was walking down Broadway with my girlfriend. Just south of 14th he passed us with his guitar on his back. We made eye contact while I tried to process the recognition. I turned around to double-check and he must have known because he nodded to say, "Yup, it's really me." I nodded back and kept walking. I looked it up later and Glen was casually walking up Broadway with his guitar to play a huge show. Legend.

@ingridmileyRTE I also rang Joe today about caring for my husband. He has Parkinson’s disease and because of some cognitive issues I have to watch him twenty four hours a day. This has gone on for 3 years and I have not left his side for that time. I am now going into burnout and nobody cares.

@margaret19500 @McConnellDaniel @rte I think I would call it vindictive - why would somebody quote the marks you got in your degrees. And as for Martins background his family were hard working people who kept a market gardening business going and raised their children in difficult times the 1960’s but why cover this

@rteliveline @joeliveline Some people on https://t.co/EEQ1tMBNSE asked if I was living in a mansion-no I live in a small bungalow in North Kildare and that’s what it’s cost. I do wonder what will happen during the winter or when my husband dies. It’s terrifying and I did’nt think This is how things end.

@rteliveline @joeliveline Hi I’m Patricia and I would like to clarify a few things. I am on a reduced pension because a group of women and some men were sacrificed to pay Ireland’s debt during the Troika era. I pay €400 per month as level pay to Bord Gais for gas and Electricity.

Patricia says she doesn't know what her and her husband will do in Winter with the rising cost of living
