Rté - Like Family

In this special edition of Like Family, Brenda Donohue travels around Ireland meeting babies born in 2016.

This week Brenda Donohue meets the Millennials. Aged between twenty and thirty six, this generation are navigating uncertain waters in the transition from childhood to adulthood. Precarious is the new word in the Like Family vocabulary! But are they worse off than previous generations?

Brenda Donohue asks what is it like to grow older in Ireland, finds out that loneliness is an important risk to well-being and wonders what are grandparents up to?

Brenda Donohue meets couples to talk about marriage. Last year, the marriage equality referendum was passed. Marriage has changed, but is it still important?

In the first programme of the Like Family series, Brenda Donohue visits Ratoath in County Meath, once a small village, now a town in Dublin's commuter belt.
