5 BAD SIDES of IRELAND | LIVING in IRELAND!

[@Corrky]

Last year I made a similar video so if you're interested check out that one too! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZTHmnmZbsyInZY

[@Av-vd3wk]

5:00 NO, it’s because some cultures, INCLUDING middle easterners have ZERO respect for the land they are now FORTUNATE to call home. A land which found its basis from MANY others, the HARD WORK of GENERATIONS beforehand to provide both the political and social infrastructure to make these refugees comfortable. - This is NOTHING they have contributed to. Yet, here and other places like Switzerland, for example, the culture has now been bleached out by ‘middle easterners’ and others ploughing their way in. There is a TOTAL disrespect for the culture. Yet, these same refugees would be offended if others came to their nation and did the same. It’s sad dude… You can’t make any coherent rhyme or reason to it other than ungratefulness. One culture ultimately gets destroyed to preserve the other… Please, I implore you to counter this argument.

[@H20.]

Your point about immigration is invalid when you compare the Irish abroad to the illegal immigrants who arrive here undocumented, are accommodated by the state, have free accommodation, healthcare, education, food etc, and still aren't happy. The Irish abroad don't get benefits and work for everything they have.

[@Lokichangchang1]

Take that attitude abroad and see how you’ll be received you twat

[@crazychicSHENA]

Its so rural in most of the republic of Ireland but Dublin and Donegal and corkey are fun towns most countryside are Nice and farmland or Homestands ☘️💯🇺🇸🇮🇪

[@חנהסיגל]

If there's plenty of land available, why should housing be so scarce? Almost certainly because the government is penalizing individuals who might build housing or rent out property they already own. Scarcity of a necessary good *always* leads to an increase in price. And price controls in turn lead to market scarcity, which then drives up the prices on the black market.

[@GarthPhilpot]

This precisely. Very little comes out of this island, other than dodgy tax and inflated housing. Without it, there wouldn't be much for the greedy politicians to get their mitts on. The people also have a very weird outlook on land. Something to do with Bull McCabe and the blow-ins. Nothing is really for sale until you've parted with a kidney or two. :p

[@padraigreilly5559]

More like 300mil live aboard! - but I think the phrase "Get your house in order first before having people to stay" Sums up the concerns of the Irish people

[@seandoherty925]

I appreciate your take on Ireland and from what I know, (I live in the North,) your comments are pretty on point. For context I'd add that Health services in the UK are even more stressed (to being on the point of collapse here in NI) and coverage I've seen says there are big problems with healthcare in Germany and just about everywhere else post Pandemic. We have our own massive set of problems in the North but thankfully the housing situation isn't one of them. The biggest share of the problem in Dublin I think may be that the economy has grown so rapidly in recent years and the Government was much more focused on that and paid scant attention to housing, possibly because nationally there had been loads of empty houses post 2008 and the collapse of the property sector. I'm sorry to see a new right that is anti immigrant is emerging in Ireland. It's also true that as huge numbers come in from elsewhere, many of Ireland's most talented young are starting to leave again as they did in previous recessions, despite a booming economy, as they see no prospect of ever owning their own home if they remain. After centuries of trying to sort the problems of poverty and underdevelopment, Ireland is now grappling with a whole other set largely to do with it's success over the last 3 decades!

[@Corrky]

Great comment! Thanks for sharing.

There's no such place as Northern Ireland. It's the North of Ireland 🇮🇪 the South West and East of Ireland.

So...housing crysis off the charts with completely insane rent and selling prices, poor infrastructure, government officials who only care about mentally deranged minorities, buildings looks like utter shite in ALL cities, everything related to housings is stupid expensive, cars are ridiculously expensive, most of you live in the stone age cause you'ne never heard of mixer taps, centralized gas heating not to mention passive houses....and many many many more ...Yet your conceirn is regarding the irish people that don't want a ton of illegal immigrants cashing in on welfare and turning the country into a massive s**thole just like the UK? Brilliant, in that case go on 8th of March and vote yes like a good little no brained sheep, bring as many immigrants in your country (especially of a certain religion) and watch how in 10 years you'll see violent crime increasing by hundreds of %

[@ThorD83]

Thank you for the tour of the Galway City Centre! :) I am not from there but interested to move in the city, so I searched on Google Maps places where you were going, nicely right through the heart of the old city centre.

[@johnnyrockaway1082]

One of your points is that trying to find housing in Ireland, especially, Dublin, is horrifying. Another one of your points is that the healthcare system can’t keep up demand, your following point is that Irish people saying the country is full are idiots because they disagree with you on twitter. I doubt that a person’s view on immigration has a statistical correlation with intelligence. The native Irish population hasn’t recovered since the potato famine and the struggle to preserve the language and culture that was nearly completely wiped out is still an epic struggle. Furthermore, that Irish people immigrated to countries with expansive natural resources capable of supporting large populations is not a valid or logical argument that the reverse should be true. The reciprocal principle is that the Irish who went to those places contributed to the economic and social milieu in a largely positive way. Few would argue that this isn’t the case. I am glad you seem to have found a happy and rewarding life in Ireland. My post is not an argument for or against either position on immigration. It is simply meant to provide additional perspective that may be pertinent to your video.

Big fan of Ireland, Corrky and Ginger Lady here! Also, I´m looking for Irish Lads with whom to teach and learn SPANISH from SPAIN with the proper accent. Start up with me, an American from Florida, and I will give you my work, nearly 1000 hours, 10,000 in context word vocabulary list. We´ll get you and me up to C1 level in less than two years for you just starting, me, in four more months. I´m moving to Cork and Málaga in a few short years. Great video. My husband is Irish and he has Ginger Lady´s opinion on Ireland. Everything is perfect. Cork is great. I prefer Spain. At 58, I´m too old to fight so, we can bet on the horses instead. DO A BUS TOUR TO THE CLIFFS!! It´s FANTASTIC. Accept Irish customs, do come over and fly your own flag or bash the local religion and be welcome! Trust me. I understand.

You'll fit straight in, the only negative thing I have to say about New Zealand is that it is a hell of a long way to travel to find exactly the same culture, fabulous countryside, friendly and charming people with a relaxed attitude to life and enjoy the occasional drink, magnificent country. There's a few less earthquakes and volcanoes here in Ireland, but I'm sure you can live with that, weathers a bit wetter, but climate is pretty much the same, most Kiwi's here hang around, so I think the risks are fairly low of you intensely disliking the place.

A nearby rain gauge once recorded 17.5 metres of rain in a year. Galway just gets the occasional light mist by comparison. Sadly, every country is 'full' of the wrong people! Give Dublin enough time to grow and you will not have to move to be in Dublin. The roads have improved in the last 50 years. I remember roads that were merely a black paint stripe "suggestion" across the bog.

@konraddsouza-lw1lh Toronto is a city in Canada and Ireland is a country. You must compare Toronto to Dublin. Jobs are spread out in Canada so it is not a must to live in one particular city or region. In Ireland most jobs are in Dublin. Dublin and Toronto are both expensive but the standard of living in Toronto is high and salaries are also high with countless of jobs. You can't say same about Dublin.

Why do I see so many middle class and poor foreigners moving to and living in Ireland but I as an irish American have to save up a million dollars plus an emergency fund that has to be equivalent to an average price of a home in Ireland which is hundreds of thousands of euros. Who can honestly afford that who isn't rich?? The other way is to guarantee an income of 55 thousand euro for the rest of your time in Ireland but how are you supposed save up that much and get a job in Ireland guaranteeing that pay when you aren't a citizen yet???

It very expensive in Ireland and the country is not developed compared to Western standards. Most Eastern EU countries are even far better than Ireland. Salaries in Ireland are low while everything is expensive and having a car is essential. Transportation is a very big problem here and 80% of the country's jobs are in Dublin so woe to you if you have to commute to Dublin. It almost impossible to find apartment in Dublin. 1 bedroom apartment cost €1500+.

[@Corrky]

The country is not developed compared to Western standards? Salaries are low? What the hell are you talking about? Ireland has 3rd biggest minimum wage in whole EU. And go and visit any of at least 50% of other EU countries and you will see what undeveloped is. Come on, be serious at least a little bit. You need few months in any eastern European country to get some perspective. If Ireland is not one of western developed countries nothing is.

[@AddySweet]

@@Corrky 🤣🤣🤣 Ireland is developed in what?. I also live in Ireland and I have lived in a few countries and I can tell you can't compare Ireland to all western EU nor USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand nor even some Eastern EU countries. Minimum wage in Ireland does not reflect on the expenses and standard of living. It is very expensive here and there is a problem with housing, bad transportation, hard to find jobs and the towns/cities are very rural type. If you make €1650 and you are paying 1 bedroom in near by towns in dublin or village for €1000, addup bills and feeding plus car is essential so (car insurance and fuel). Someone is living in poland with €1500 salary and rent for €400. Car is not essential and expenses are 50% cheaper and it has higher standard of living than Ireland.

nobody should be homeless in Ireland, because of the damp, also inadequately built housing is a big problem the materials cause damp, or the houses are built by builders not designed with adequate materials or ventilation, but because housing is so scarce people live with black mould and pay extortionate prices for that, also storage heaters are expensive and inefficient. The heavy drinking culture, the laddish 'lads' banter is disrespectful and annoying because its drunk and largely abusive. Personally I welcome people from other countries to live here, it is a welcome relief from the 'drunk lads/laddies and their craic banter, which is usually unkind or lots of cursing, vulgar (ie an obsession with genitalia)
