A small but hugely significant victory for people power was achieved in Ireland this month. After 19 nights of sleeping on the floor of the Paris Bakery in Dublin, a group of mostly young migrant workers succeeded in forcing political action that will help them recoup unpaid wages and make history in the process. All but one of the workers had been involved in trade unions or political campaigning before, but all have emerged as beacons for what's possible when people have the courage to act.

As I live and work in rural Ireland, it is the local application of the sharing economy that most interests me. Cloughjordan is a small heritage village located less than two hours from Dublin and is reachable by train.
