ARE IRISH PEOPLE and IRELAND CHANGING? 🇮🇪 | LIVING IN IRELAND VLOG 🇮🇪

Are Irish people and Ireland changing? And if so is it for better or worse? Much of the Irish people anger in Ireland is linked to the struggle for housing, in a country where rent and property prices are among the highest in Europe. But there are fears that parts of the anti-migrant movement are being infiltrated by social media influencers, who are inflaming tensions further.
Join us as we discuss current #irish state of Ireland and find out what is it like living in #ireland in 2024.!
We hope you all enjoy this one and we shall see you all next week.
Have a nice day everyone and see you next week!
Cheers! 🍺

I left Ireland in 2001 and it has changed SO MUCH since then.

[@whitiemarsh3671]

In a good or bad way?

[@robbdevournai8769]

Well done - appreciate your perspectives and comments. I have been following Ireland the world and the United States during this time. I think you nailed it. Well done!

[@Corrky]

Thank you! :)

[@eon4901]

You're back!! Love the Irish content

[@Corrky]

We are indeed! :)

[@aion5837]

It isn't the buildings, it's what the buildings are placed on - the land - that has sky-rocketed in price. Why? Supply and demand. The more people requiring accommodation the more expensive it becomes. If it's so easy to upgrade, why are highly educated and skilled native Irish leaving in droves? You know what the core issue is.

[@Corrky]

Plenty of both videos and articles on the subject or Irish housing crisis but half of it is herd to understand unless you're some kind of economist.

[@ciarantuomey5408]

@@Corrky supply and demand very basic economics

[@Corrky]

It’s not even close to being that simple from what I hear here.

[@chickeninyeezes3759]

It's also planning and inflation and a lack of construction workers

[@markilleen4027]

There is no lack of construction workers in this country, it's prity simple what's going on companies like BlackRock buy up housing and artificially inflate the price of rent and the price to buy housing, and you compile that with the ridiculous amount of people coming into the country, most of whom are uneducated and contribute nothing to the economy, driving out are own educated population, keeping the wage down, making the problem even worse

[@brianboru8155]

Great video. As a Dub, social media and everyone staring at their phones, e-scooters, agree footpaths are crowded and giving pedestrians more space will mean giving less to cars.

[@Corrky]

Thank you!

Thank you :)

Oh Lorraine and Corrky! We spent 18 beautiful days this September in Ireland, and a few of those days were in Galway. Beautiful city and lovely, friendly people. We walked near a canal that we have seen you two walk by, with ducks, and hoped we might run in to you (guess you were in Croatia). We visited the Latin Quarter, University of Galway, a museum, lost of little shops, ate at The Bake Box - I think you recommend it once in a video. We stayed at Glenlo Abbey Hotel & Estate - which was fantastic. We highly recommend the boxcar restaurant there - ask Hugo to make a "White Lady" cocktail - delicious. Thanks for all your info about Galway and Ireland. We hope to retire there someday (hubby has an EU passport). We travel a lot, but Ireland is our favorite place. Number one point - Everyone is friendly and relaxed. If you could just put shoulders on all the roads! Sending love and gratitude from Savannah GA.

[@Corrky]

So glad you had a great time here! Maybe you’ll ran into us next time :)

Guys I love you. I know so much about Ireland through you. Looks crowded on the street. Corrky welcome back dude.

[@Corrky]

Thanks, always nice to read comments like this :)

[@FfFf-lu5lc]

@@Corrky just to let you know. Here in US Florida rent for one bedroom is 1800-2400$ mainly south Florida. There plenty of apartments but rent is crazy and there is no control over that. For you to apply for one bedroom you need to make 2.5 which is ridiculous nowadays.

[@Corrky]

Okay that is ridiculous! That i could not afford.

[@FfFf-lu5lc]

@@Corrky just giving you a prospective of the situation on the other side. It's not only Ireland

[@Corrky]

Oh I understand. That is what I am trying to tell people here but they seam to think they have it the worst for some reason.

Yup, stately plump Buck himself

[@genghisthegreat2034]

I have mixed feelings on the " chat on the bus " thing. The preliminaries, aka weather, cost of living, traffic , housing are a kind of endurance with a stranger. Cutting to the real essentials, past those, would be interesting on a longer journey.

[@Corrky]

To be honest I don't talk to anyone like that. But then again I am not Irish.

[@fionaquinn8777]

Oh my i love ginger lady and i like her opinion too 😊

[@Corrky]

Thank you :)

[@KewKew-do3kq]

Need housing badly

[@lorabryan4419]

I would think from what I have heard that to get out somewhere other than Dublin to see the more normal Ireland. Big business can really change a city. I am sure it is full of history but I bet you feel the folks saying hello and actually embracing the people a bit further away from Dublin you get. Everyone needs to take a breath and just enjoy the people, friends, and family as they are far more important than material objects.

[@Corrky]

Seams like that to me too. But then I personally never liked big cities so Im probably not objective.

[@plasticscouser3791]

How much is a pint of guinness on quay st galway ? C I spent 24 years in Limerick and have good memories. I moved away in '21 as i was fed up with the weather . I live in Portugal now were the cost of living is the same as Ireland but the minimum wage is less than €1200 monthly . I hope u listen 2 " David Mcwilliams " podcast as he loves Croatia. Loved ur chin- wag Christy 🇮🇪/🇵🇹 👍

[@Corrky]

Pint is usually 5.50 EUR I will check out the podcast, thanks!

[@fionaquinn8777]

Hi, i'm from Australia and yes things are more expensive but no you're NOT an idiot, some people can't save money they want everything now, my sister in law has a saying "i'd rather having debts than regrets" vs my husband and i we decided to not have children so we can be ok in our old age, PS: we are 41 and 42years old with a 3 bedroom house half of it is paid off and we got it in 2013 we got married in 2015 we actually went to spain in 2016 and 2019 so some people does NOT know how to put money on a side for these heard times, i guess there priorities are just different

[@Corrky]

I have to agree with you with most of this. I am some kind of an extreme though because I would never consider a huge loan just to buy a house. I am happy renting. There will not be a day where I owe thousands to anyone.

[@fionaquinn8777]

@@Corrky ok! That's understandable, for me i would never make someone else rich by renting his house and can through me out when ever he has a chance! But I don't mean any disrespect it's just my point of view 😊

[@diarmuid4191]

I can’t buy a house with 110k in the bank, I’m just going to move to the nordics. Pricing here is fucking ridiculous for the slop you get (I’m an architect)

[@Corrky]

I guess if owning a house is important to you I understand how Ireland is not a good place for you. It’s all a matter of priorities.

[@michele-n3y]

Of course life is not the same,teenagers can be horrendous,especially to parents,totally without respect and rude,and they have got worse with social media.Rents here in athens are easier than dublin,a basic one bed flat 450 to 550 with balcony in a 10 minute metro trip,it is insane to have such high rents and it is ruining the world economy and the lives of people,making all sorts of social and mental health problems,a world of havs and hav nots.

[@fareedaobrien3112]

Of course Ireland has changed, for one, there's more people in it

[@noelfleming3567]

And our government is destroying country with illegal immigrants

[@Corrky]

The question is, for good or bad?

[@michele-n3y]

If you both want a visit here to athens with your camera I can give you free room and a visit to my mountain cottage near Loutraki-corinth,west by a short journey from athens,Im very fond of you both,see this place,everywhere is mad anyway.

[@Corrky]

Hi Michele! Thank you very much for the offer. We will keep it in mind when we decide to visit Greece :)

[@ljg7777]

I think it's great that as people who are passing you on the street are actually speaking English. You can hear it everywhere. Here in Dublin it is no longer possible to hear it being spoken on the streets of Dublin.

[@Corrky]

1 more thing that differentiates Dublin I guess. Didn’t think of that.

[@whitiemarsh3671]

Irish people are not changing.....Irish people are the same as they always were. The "New Irish" are not Irish

[@Corrky]

I'm curious, why do you think those new people want to be Irish? I for example never said I'm Irish, and I never will. Living in Ireland doesn't imply being Irish.

[@whitiemarsh3671]

@@Corrky no idea why they want to claim to be Irish. The native Irish people will never see them as Irish

[@finolaomurchu8217]

I agree with that whiteymarsh too many people arriving is not good. You're here with an Irish girl, and are not just in Ireland for financial benefit. There's many nationalities here to get social welfare benefit. This means less for native Irish i.e. hospital waiting lists, children with health issues not getting treatment.​@Corrky

[@MolloyPolloy]

There is 100s of people arriving with no ambition to integrate at all. Zero ambitions to work and pay tax. Zero ambition to learn irish customs and culture. Zero interest in equality. They want their religious laws to trump irish laws. When there is no intention to integrate what's the point in allowing them in? We should be allowing and prioritising people who want to become a part of our communities. It makes no sense in taking in people who do not want to.

[@yaroslavx6447]

@@MolloyPolloyabsolutely agree with you, I myself learned that Ireland has such high gdp just after arriving in here, obviously my choice with Ireland was not over money, but rather that I’m interested in this part of the world, interested in culture history and language (I mean both English and Irish). And it kind of frustrates me to see people coming here, but not making effort to learn the local customs and integrate. And I’ll stay in Ireland as long as Irish will say that I’m welcome here, not longer than that

[@finolaomurchu8217]

I find if I'm out and about and talk to random people in queues or bus stop my children will tell me not to be weird (i.e. talking just).

[@Corrky]

I'm not much of a talker to be honest. Lorraine on the other side loves it!

[@josephkelleher8820]

I have no idea about Ireland because have never been their. America is all I know.

[@Corrky]

If everything goes to plan we should visit US next year! :)

[@Wes-Evans]

I had so much expectations when I arrived in Dublin after hearing so much about the legendary friendliness of the Irish. Well all the people I met were rude or dry at best. Dubliners are not that friendly at all. It's a breath of fresh air whenever I travel around the country to find the kind of people who live up to your reputation.

[@Corrky]

Do you think that's just Dublin or is it maybe just the fact it is the capital od the country? Maybe they are all like that...just thinking out loud here.

[@genghisthegreat2034]

I lived four years in Dublin, and the Dubs are a warm crew. It takes time, and patience past the first contact.

[@Wes-Evans]

@@genghisthegreat2034 I still live in Dublin. I haven't said that they are unfriendly, but that they aren't that friendly, I traveled quite a bit and lived in other countries and let me tell you that dubliners are not among the friendliest I have met. Not even close.

[@Wes-Evans]

@@Corrky in my opinion, I met people from bigger busier more stressful capital cities who were immensely friendlier.
