that pensioners of the 2nd richest state in the EU forced to pay 80% of their state pensions to the cost of public nursing homes.

(The 2nd richest state in the EU bit is standard PD propaganda and media manipulation).

This is reading and optional video material suitable for intermediate and upper intermediate level, standard Irish media accent.
Just follow the link and download the national broadcasting networks audio file and watch the Irish TV.
This is also educational material suitable for "civics" students and those abroad who are considering living or working in the EU state of Ireland.

there may be a test issued later, we're not on holidays yet. read full story / add a comment
