The Bailout Babies: How Ireland's financial crash reshaped the next generation – and what it means for the future

Meet Ireland's Bailout Babies – born in the boom, raised on brunch. This is the story of the generation who grew up believing they'd have it all, only for the economy to crash as they hit adulthood. Promised prosperity, they got recessions, a housing crisis, gig work and a decade of being told to be grateful for less. Meet the cast of characters – including Tinderman, Treat-Seeker and Shein Queen – who are being forced to reimagine adulthood in a world where grown-ups rent instead of own, swipe right instead of settle down and curate joy online while burning out. Wry, urgent and painfully familiar, The Bailout Babies asks: what happens when an entire generation is left holding the bill – and what comes next when they stop playing by the old rules? 'An insightful and riveting account of the interrupted journey of an entire generation' Richard Curran
