However the youth keeps getting the fuck out despite the fact that the crisis seems to be over.
Is the life this good on potato island ? Is there any problem right now ?
Fact: The Irish are the most powerful race in the world

FPBP There's still money here and more businesses opening up every day;life can be amazing if you're living in the cities, still pockets of economic deprivation.
Tyler Roberts
It'll all be over when we forcibly re-attach the tumor that is Northern Ireland
Colton Wilson
>Catholics seems to still have a grip on the social policies God no.
Most of my family has no time for gays but still voted in support of same-sex marriage just to spite those nonces.
Carter Garcia
Unemployment is only falling because young people are simply abandoning their country when they get their college degree since there's no jobs here
Things are also getting more expensive here despite the fact wages are keeping up, not only are things getting more expensive but companies are reducing the size of their products, pretty sure in a recent EU study we were the second or 3 most expensive country for goods
>Is the life this good on potato island ? Is there any problem right now ?
We're an incredibly apathetic race of people, even if things are bad you won't here much complaining
>There's still money here and more businesses opening up every day;life can be amazing if you're living in the cities, still pockets of economic deprivation.
Come to Waterford, shops are closed everywhere in our main city center, heck Debenhams is on the verge of closing here as well

This is only true outside Dublin, but nobody in government cares about anywhere outside Dublin.
IT sector is thriving in the big smoke.

Kek. Irish are incredibly whiny fuckers that like to imagine problems. You probably don't notice because you're a whiny fucker.

IT graduate pay is shit though. Got offered a job with Amazon but the only paid 25k. Took a job in Belfast for far more and lower lIving costs. I get a sweet apartment for £700 per month.
Isaiah Morales
Ireland has amazing economic key features, but that seems only due to tax dumping and real estate bubbles. They do not seem to produce anything.
I can imagine it has an amazing and unique culture, due to being an island. Similar to Iceland.
Ryan Long
Pretending the country is much worse than it actually is in reality is our greatest national pastime tbqh.
Samuel Perez
This is true for the entire West and to a lesser extent the entire world.
People are still moving to cities at a faster rate than people are being born or moving to villages.
This of course causes villages to die, it has no bearing on whether the country is rich or not.
Aiden Cooper

Well abortion is not legalized as far as I can remember.
Isn't the country really sexy for investment right now ? France by comparaison is still very attractive (especially for americans) but commie administration and fiscality are a gigantic clusterfuck here.
Nathaniel Wright
>Is the life this good on potato island ? Is there any problem right now ? No. It's perfect.
Even college is awesome, if you go to a good one and do a real degree they essentially hand you a job in a big company.
I love it here. Especially since I visited Germany last year, I really appreciate it more.
Nathaniel Ortiz
>>Catholics seems to still have a grip on the social policies
lmao didn't they legalize gay marriage recently?
Aiden Gonzalez
>Well abortion is not legalized as far as I can remember. Not really a purely religious thing.
Opposition to gay marriage can only really be given from a religious perspective, but you can make a convincing non-religious argument against abortion.
Abortion was illegal in most of the Soviet Union iirc.
Luis Wilson

This is bullshit
Jeremiah Evans
>We're an incredibly apathetic race of people, even if things are bad you won't here much complaining
I thought the stereotype was that Irish people are whiny fuckers who love to complain about everything? Or am I thinking of Scottish people or something?
That's an example of Irish being very courteous over minor things. When an Irish person actually feels like something is wrong they will whine and whine.
Pretending Irish don't cause a fuss is Irish narcissism on display.
Luis Barnes
We're like England to a certain extent, majority of investment they put in London, except in Ireland it's much worse, basically all the investment goes to Dublin and fuck everyone else
It was only 30 years ago that Priests and the Christian brothers ran schools, they use to beat and rape kids, My father was beat and my grandmother.
Then you have all those women forced in laundry works and their kids taken from them for not being married
Simple fact is that the majority of people under 40 y/o aren't religious and most have nothing but disdain for the church. And in all honesty the churches deserve it. Most of them are closing up and shipping off to South America where they're gaining control
Parker Harris

We're actually importing African priests here to make up for the decline in vocations.
Grayson Ramirez
Tipperary is grand as well. Not too sure about Limerick.
Austin Jones
Scottish. The only thing we ever whine about is taxes and that's it. We have the mentality of as long as your happy nothing else matters. Which causes hedonism and giving not a single damn about your future or anyone elses. Pretty bleak if you ask me.
Christopher Jenkins
wtf
Matthew Barnes
But aren't those areas just farms?
Aaron Nguyen
Limerick is boring, nothing to do other than go to one of the clubs at the city center or go to UL societies. I honestly prefer the countryside.
Asher Ross
Don't you have some of the lowest taxes in Europe? Sounds like you're a whiny bunch after all ;^)
Daniel Perry
What else can you expect of a nation founded entirely by the left
Jose James
Yes we have the lowest CORPORATE taxes in Europe, but the other taxes are the same as everywhere else. The whole whining business was adopting the extra taxes that other European countries have like water charges. If the irish people get more taxes that means they have less money to spend on drinking, which is the only thing we do around here.
Xavier Jones
Well to be fair, when we got founded we quickly got swept off our feet by the EU. So it's not like we were given a real chance to be a nation.
Anthony Brooks
Lots of little villages and towns and amazing scenery. I'd rather be in Donegal than Dublin or Wicklow.
Ethan Jones
The weather is shite and actively keeps away dirtskins but there seems to be loads more here recently.
I hope they fuck off soon.
Joshua Cruz
>Ireland has amazing economic key features, but that seems only due to tax dumping and real estate bubbles
BINGO
Ireland is about to get dry fucked by the UK.
UK is going to drop corp tax to lure tech companies over to London. Couple this with Clinton/Trump talking about closing the Irish tax loopholes and bringing US tech giants back home again.
Dublin will get hit very hard in the next few years.

The countryside is the best thing about Ireland. The cities are depressing and there is never anything to do there other than to go to work and go clubbing.
The shitskins only move into the cities and big towns mostly looking for work. Also those are the only places that the gov can sneak in refugees.
Here's to hoping we get out of the EU soon so we can handle the incoming storm a bit better, because the UK is our best trading partners and since they brexited it made trading with them a lot harder.
James Hernandez

Justin Perez
Ireland has other advantages:
>we're politically very stable and not prone to striking >we're one of the most well-educated countries in Europe >we're now the only native English-speaking country in the EU >we're on very good terms with every major economy in the world and have ready access to both Britain and the rest of the EU

UK gov already said it's happening anyway. I guess they think it will create a jobs boom.
They've been pissed off at the way the tech companies are dodging UK taxes with the Irish loopholes and stuff.
Jordan Thomas
>I guess they think it will create a jobs boom. Nah. They are simply doing damage control.
Yeah, the Irish economy model is a nasty one for countries bordering it.

Luckily they're only getting shipped to North Dublin so hopefully it'll be fine

>Irish are incredibly whiny fuckers We complain, then go on to fix the problem. Everywhere else in the world complains and then complains some more. You don't know how good Ireland is until you leave.
Not even remotely true. Except for Tallaght and northern Dublin, which were untermenschen in the first place
