Young people: āIreland is a great place to liveā
Awkward crew on tfk: āletās ignore what young people say and continue to claim Ireland is a shit place for young peopleā
Ireland is a terrific little diverse country.
Of course things can be improved and of course we have our issues but thatās the way of the world.
youāre one of the most awkward fuckers here, being honest with you
youāll intentionally say up was down to try rise a fella

No Iām not.
The same lunatics who claimed Dublin wasnāt safe to walk around now trying to claim Ireland is a shit place to live in.
Ukrainians should surrender 
Global warming is a myth
Lock down done more harm than good
Itās always the Same people.
youāre a gas fucking manā¦
Have you data to back that up?
Edit; maybe you meant to say Young Fine Gael people?
It isnāt conjecture. The countries with the most emigration since the crash are the U.K., Australia, Canada and the US. The EU15 bundled in together only equal the UK.
Not really no but itās just incredibly frustrating at how down people are on at Ireland at the moment.
Itās a bloody great place to be young in. We have great opportunities and we should be grateful for that.
If not being able to afford a house in Dublin is your biggest concern then things are going pretty bloody well when you see whatās going on around the world every day.
The population of the country continues to expand rapidly. Ireland is the third fastest growing country in Europe.

We also have an obsession with ownership in Ireland.
A lot of people 65 plus living in houses they donāt really need to be in after family have moved away.
If you could convince them to down size and free
Up larger homes for younger families it would help but thereās obvious reasons why people donāt want to do it which is fair enough.
Yes and we also have shortages of GPs, chronic nimbyism preventing meeting of climate change targets and creating a first world public transport system, a desperate system for looking after people with mental health issues and young people in state care, a paper based health system, student housing shortages and inflation eating into spending power of young families who are also paying for childcare and dealing with rising interest rates. It isnāt a perfect country by any manner or means.

Youāre like TFKs Marie Amtoinette,
Never had to work a day in your life and youāre challenging people saying itās far too expensive to find a place to live in the desirable parts of the country, 
But if those things were overwhelming, we would not see the growth we do. Things were proper shit in Ireland in the 1980s and late 2000s and migration flows followed.
Now we face issues that are largely similar across the board. Iāll take each of your complaints one by one and compare to one of the top āemigrationā destinations.
Australia;
GP shortage
Climate change
The Health system
Student housing shortage
Australian inflation crisis
Yet we are supposed to believe that the early 20 somethings going there to live with 7 other people are doing so because Ireland is so shit and the only country with problems.
Get off the stage, the world is bigger than Ireland.

Whatās the saying further away grass isnāt always greener.
Yet your siblings and friends have mostly left the place?

Australia is far more expensive than Ireland
Looking for a new rental in Dublin is worse than London now. I donāt see whatās hard to believe about that. Denying the scale of the problem doesnāt help anyone, the bertie ahern school, talking down the economy. I think we should recognise where we are at. Our annual targets for housing builds are at least 10k too low, doing the ostrich on it isnāt going to get us out of it.
And yet it is one of the top destinations for the the young Irish supposedly condemned to emigration.
