A new three-part documentary on RTE will show the struggles of young people in Ireland and the affects of homelessness. 
The documentary is set to reveal the lives torn apart due to high rent costs of Ireland and unscrupulous landlords. 

One couple in particular Ciara O’Shaughnessy and Colin Bale reveal their harrowing story, where they lost their unborn baby after being evicted from their home and rendered homeless. 

The couple tell how they were evicted from their home, and it was put up for sale by the landlord. Having couch surfed with family and friends for a while they ended up sleeping in a car and then in an abandoned hospital. 

Unfortunately amid the stress and strains of homelessness, Ciara was rushed to hospital where she suffered complications and ultimately the loss of their precious child. 

The couples full heartbreaking story can be seen in the documentary aptly titled, Generation F’d, on RTÉ commencing on January 19th.
