Ireland AM presenter Elaine Crowley has become a first-time homeowner at age 48 after purchasing a fixer-upper apartment in Dublin's Dublin 8 area.

She also recently opened up about experiencing early menopause in her 30s and coming to terms with grief over not being able to have children.

But after looking at various properties she was often outbid on, she decided to pull the trigger and make the purchase.
“I’m in there, ish, kind of… what am I saying, I only have two rooms done, the kitchen’s in sh**, the bedrooms, not great either, but behind me is nice, the bathroom is lovely, and that’s all I need for the moment," she told the Irish Independent.. She also recently opened up about going into early menopause when she was in her thirties, and coming to terms with the grief of not being able to have children.
While she is now at peace with her reality, it took her some time to get to that stage.
"I couldn't have children and that was a grief in itself that I never acknowledged. Going into early menopause I think was something that I never truly came to terms with at all. I never talked about it, because I was so ashamed.
"I could have had younger but… I was never in a relationship in a position to have children. "
