I would say itās more understandable to use the terms millennials or Generation Z or Generation FU or whatever youāre having yourself than it is to use the term āboomerā, first of all because the term āmillennialsā refers to a specific time period common to everywhere (possibly except Ethopia, Iām not sure if they are still seven years behind). Also trends in western countries have homogenised quite a lot in recent decacdes and the world is more of a āglobal villageā (I hate that term but Iām using it anyway) than in the 1950s.
To me the term āboomerā has basically no meaning in an Irish context.

It was actually 2012 when this payment was stopped for new entrants, for existing leaches the payment was just absorbed into a different name.

@flattythehurdler are you a permanent resident in Barna or Bibsdury (sic) these days? Or some in between PJ style tax whizz via another abode in Switzerland or somewhere? Apologies if you donāt wish to answer this invasive question or if youāve already expanded on it in other threads or in PMsā¦itās awfully difficult to keep across everything. Basically what Iām saying isā¦Iāll take your wonderful western palace for a week in the autumn for air bnb at mateās rates, if available. Youāll need to sign a waiver in advance for any property damage though.

Best in what categories?
The most accurate barometer of where a country is at is by its health and housing.
Ireland is all fur knickers and no coatā¦. A few multinationals pull out and we wonāt even have the fur knickers.
At least you lads had the IRA to look up to as heroes. We have Paul Murphy and Mattie McGrath

Do the public servants still get the holy days off?
I think the poor craturs only get the same public holidays as the rest of us these days.
PM sent.
I personally think fur coat no knickers is a great job.
