Soaring rents and the trickle of new rental properties coming on to the market are also forcing more and more people to move further away from where they work.

We want to hear your story of your commute, why you do it and how affects your life and your relationship with your family and your friends.

Please send an email to commuters@irishtimes.com with your name, contact number and a short description of your commuting life in no more than 300 words that we can publish.

Please attach a photograph of yourself that can run with your story.
