Irish First-Time Buyers - Saved House Deposit, Numbers & Timelines

How exactly did you save your house deposit? (Excuse the double post but I'm writing two articles at once) - I'm looking for Irish first-time buyers to share exactly they saved house deposit - a mix of couples and singles - for an article in an Irish national newspaper. The piece will break down real numbers, timelines and sacrifices made. If you're interested in sharing your experience, please [email redacted] to discuss further. Thanks a lot!
