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.
>>80374108
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

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.
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.

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.

>>80374108

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.
>>80374108
>>Catholics seems to still have a grip on the social policies
lmao didn't they legalize gay marriage recently?
>>80376491
>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.

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.

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

We're actually importing African priests here to make up for the decline in vocations.

Tipperary is grand as well. Not too sure about Limerick.
>>80376776
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.
>>80377453
wtf
>>80377453
>>80377206

>>80377453
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.
>>80377524
Don't you have some of the lowest taxes in Europe? Sounds like you're a whiny bunch after all ;^)
>>80377524
What else can you expect of a nation founded entirely by the left
>>80377775
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.
>>80377837
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.
>>80377621
Lots of little villages and towns and amazing scenery. I'd rather be in Donegal than Dublin or Wicklow.

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.
>>80378398
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.
>>80378439
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.

Felt disgusted desu senpai.

Ireland only looks good on paper.
It has the lowest IQ of all Western/Northern European countries, because every smart person leaves, it's is the highest OCED country for emigration by a staggering amount
It has probably the most incompetent government only a little above Portugal, Greece & Spain, governments mostly consist of people who graduated Law School, in Ireland it's primary school teachers and nobodies.
It's public services are the worst in Europe by far, maybe even worse than developing countries
Over generous welfare system, especially for single mothers who get a free house, car, rental assistance, holidays.
You pay 40% tax once you start earning €32,000 a year, you literally exist to only pay for the bottom feeders and welfare slaves while reaping none of the benefits in other European countries; you have to pay for health insurance

It was legalised by referendum because it was the ONLY way we could legalise it.
Marriage was defined as a man and woman in the constitution.
The reason there was little opposition to the yes vote was because Irish civil partnership was already marriage in all but name, with all the same rights and protections.
The entire referendum was a victory lap for the gays and they treated it as such
