A chara, – One reason why the cost of second-hand cars is so high in Ireland is due to the fact that we are the only EU country that drives on the left-hand side.
In 1967, Sweden successfully transitioned from driving on the left-hand side to driving on the right-hand side.
Swedish car users now have access to a second-hand car market associated with a population of almost 750 million people.
Many Irish families are under pressure from our cost of living crisis.

In Dallas, X marks the mundane spot that became an inflection point of US history
