    If this is Ireland, as suggested by the Irish Times, it’s at least possible that the parent is themselves struggling to pay rent and genuinely needs help.

      Yeah, but parents that are themselves struggling don’t typically go to the press to shame their children into paying up or moving out.

        The Irish Independent is like the Irish New York Post too so it’s likely this person is content with the situation. Not their children. Housing in Ireland is dire, rents reaching €2000 a month and houses being bought up by international funds. For this ragebait post, there is also parents are going deep into debt for the rest of their lives and moving out of their own homes to give their own kids a chance to start families. Of course the solution in such hardship is obvious them, become intensely racists and fascist.
