What are your Top 5 Pros and cons of living in Ireland? Let me know your opinion in the comments below 👇🏻
I am drawn by all of the above plus your ancient "Druid" religion. I am also interested in your language origin and the possible unification of Ireland.
@@machinemanmclaren That's really cool! I'm very interested in Druidic religions. They make more sense than most religions. It's about worshipping the elements, the trees, the sun, the things that we know give us life. It's much easier to understand and form a mutual relationship with nature than it is with the invisible man that lives in the clouds.
Do you speak Geilge mate? 🇮🇪🇮🇪
@@dansugardude2655 not fluently but I speak a decent amount of it
@@TheIrishGuyVlogs Better than most people do! I wish I could speak that language but there’s no way 😂. Especially since it distinguishes broad and slender consonants and mutates consonants as well!
Wanted to say last time visited Ireland alone and not in a group, I was in Dublin and I went in the church to ask about a symbol near the door and one of the church workers invited me to tea and biscuits. They didn’t know me at all but we had a good conversation. That’s sort of demonstrates about the Irish being welcoming.
Most of us love teaching people about our history. But most of all, we just make excuses to tell stories, so we can eat biscuits and drink tea 😄☘️ Thanks for stopping by!
I was born and lived in Ireland for 9 years but moved to the US because my dad got a job offer he couldn't refuse. It's been 13 years and we've visited family and friends every single year since moving(besides the COVID years) and I just can't get to calling the US my home. Ireland is still my home. I'm getting ready to go into my last year at university, then the plan is to move back home to where I belong. Loved the video mate
Thanks a lot Pól, I appreciate your watching and commenting. Best of luck in your final year of University! 💪
"I Know a SHED down the road that's older than the pyramids" You crack me up. Good video
Haha thanks Carey! I exaggerated a little bit, but hopefully you got the idea 😅😂
Howling
The weather is schizophrenic 💀
It really is 😂🙈
@@TheIrishGuyVlogs Agreed but, it's the shed that will forever have me in stitches 🤧
What a pleasure to listen to someone talking from his soul telling the TRUTH about Ireland. ❤❤❤
Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed the video 😄☘️
From an Irishman living in Boston. 100% agree with all your points. I hope to retire back in the best little country in the world….. despite all the shortcomings!!
Great plan, enjoy your retirement! 💪🏻 😎☘️
I’m moving to Ireland soon and I almost can’t wait! This video helped a lot, thank you 🍀
Thank you for watching Natalie! I'm glad it helped and it's great that you're excited to move here! If you need any tips etc just drop me a message! Thanks again 😊 ☘️
This was such a great video. It's lovely to see somebody be so natural and authentic. It's refreshing.
Thanks a lot, I appreciate you saying that!
I want to go irland because of the people they seem really humble and always ready to enjoy life despite anything. And they dont care if they have to scream or something i think is cool.
Saludos de mexico
We are very easy going and we love to enjoy life and have a laugh as much as possible 😄☘
There's plenty of arrogant people about too, since Ireland became a high GDP country it's lost part of its soul
Notions!! They get a few quid in their pockets and they're acting like they could buy you 😂
I'm surprised that most of the cons are the same in Germany actually. I'd still prefer Ireland wayyy more 😄 I never could identify myself with the german culture but Ireland always fascinated me. Actually I was a child, I didn't know much about Ireland and then I had a dream where I was flying over the island and it felt like home. Since then I'm thinking about moving to Ireland one day.
Great video! Thank you ❤️
That's a lovely dream to have. So many people think about Ireland as their home, even if they've never been here. I think it's great ! Hopefully you get to make that dream a reality some day ☘
Great video, honest about the pro's and cons. What I love about Ireland is sense of community that still exists in the towns and even some suburbs of even a big city like Dublin, sadly lost in most parts of the UK, also love the optimism and exuberance of young Irish people, even in the face of the cons mentioned in the video they still smile and laugh and enjoy the craic, you can't put a price on that, overall its still got to be one of the best places in the world to live and I've no plan to leave anytime soon 😁
I've been in Ireland some years ago and I can absolutely confirm all the good things you said about Irish people! You are so nice! Can't wait to come back. Plus, I'm a ginger, so I felt at home 😅 greets from Italy!
Haha thank you! I'm glad you agree and I think all ginger people feel comfortable in Ireland, there's something relaxing about it, or they feel safer, strength in numbers 😂 Thanks for you comment! Greetings from Rainy Ireland 🍀
Best thing about Ireland right now? Donal Ryan.
Séamus, in Hemel Hempstead.
Thanks for the great video glad to see an actuall Irish person speaking about whats going on there.
Im From Tunisia I read about Irish History from before the vikings Invasions to afterward and I just fell in Love.
Hey, thanks a lot for watching! :) Irish history is so cool, the viking stuff especially, there's still so much we don't know or has been forgotten to time. I'll be making new videos that are more history related. You should check out Scattery Island, it has a lot of interesting Viking history!
@@TheIrishGuyVlogs of course! I will and thanks again for the valuable information , I was never in Ireland but as you said its weired that its a rich country with high GDP with bad infrastructure and I think this is one of the main problem there this have direct connection to housing and to healthcare etc... and I read somewhere online that its because the GDP in Ireland is tricky as in very inflated and dosen't reflect the true wealth of the country and thats why the infrastructure is not at its best but anyway I hope they can fix it soon as its urgent I would assume.👍
Thanks for the content. And thanks for being such a compassionate guy, looking out for your fellow-people!
Can't wait to come back!
Great video. Good laugh to. I have loads of family in clare and understand each point you made.
Cheers Gary, I appreciate that! It's cool that you have family in Clare! I'm glad you can relate! ☘️ Have any pros or cons yourself that aren't on the list?
I’m looking to move to Ireland soon and just found your video as part of my research and must say you had some really interesting points. I have to agree with the comments, the pros definitely outweigh the cons. Loved your personality and way of presenting btw, kind regards from Costa Rica ☺️
Hello from Ireland and thank you for your comment, I'm glad you enjoyed the video :D That's cool that you're moving to Ireland, is that something that you've wanted to do for a while?
Love the honesty from Canada
Thank you! I appreciate that ☘️
Thanks for the video! Agree with all you said. LIKE
Thanks Carol, I appreciate that, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Hello from Ireland 😄☘️
Really Great Info About Your Beautiful Country! You Are a Blessing To Ireland Sir!🌄🌈
Thank you Charles! That's very kind of you 😄 Cheers for watching ☘️

Love your video, David. Keep ‘em coming.

Great stuff
Great video sir. Too many tourist making video about living in Ireland. Very happy to hear a locals perspective. Good job
Thank you Chris, I appreciate your comment and I'm glad you liked the video 😄 Hello from sunny Ireland 🍀
People come here to drool over our castles 🤣 great video man! You're absolutely spot on on everything
It's true, they're mad for the castles, they can't get enough of them! 😂 We have so many we're like big deal, a castle 🤷🏻♂️ Tourists come here and their minds melt when they see Bunratty 😅 I think it's so cool! Cheers for wathching man! 💪🏻
Thank you so much for this video
You're welcome, I'm happy you enjoyed it! 😄☘️
Wonderful video!
Thanks Dorothy, I'm glad you enjoyed it 😄☘️
Thank you!! I'm retiring in Ireland in 10 years half the year and Spain the other half because honestly, I can't can't just CAN'T take the weather more than that! However, seeing you, hoping that I meet a man like you for a lifelong friend (and NO! I'm not hitting on you), I'm grateful you restored my faith in the best thing about Ireland - The people! Its one of the reasons I'm not staying in Florida for retirement. I'm seeking out Hispanophiles who LOVE Spanish language and LOVE Spain, who are Irish. Thanks for letting me use your post space for that. I love your video and I'd LOVE to meet you.
Hey, thank you for your comment, that's really nice of you to say! Haha what's wrong with Irish weather? 😂 It has been really nice the past few days but the rain will be back soon enough haha. The people are definitely the best thing about Ireland and I'm glad others see it too! Haha well if you're in Ireland any time after your retirement let me know 😄☘️
Grand information!! I will be visiting Ireland in September for the first time. Looking forward to it. Thanks! Bud Cary
No worries, hope you have a great time!
Thank you! Great video! Except for the weather, I think that every other con is the same everywhere really. It’s a humanity thing more than an Irish thing, unfortunately.
I went to Ireland last month for 2 weeks and completely fell in love with it. One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been to
Haha I think you're right, it is a human thing, not just an Irish thing. it sounds like you got very lucky with the weather, We've had a warm spring season so far. Really Happy to hear you had a great time
Just found your TH-cam channel!
I’m Irish American and was planning a trip over then COVID 🖕🏼me. 🤣
Working on my ancestry limited luck. I have always wanted to come maybe next year
Thank you James, I really appreciate you stopping by! It's a shame that Covid has put a dampener on everything but if you fet the chance to visit next year and you're in my area let me know! There are some great genealogy resources online for researching family history. I've been looking into my own family tree recently. My dad has 8 brothers and 4 sisters so you can just imagine how much work there is 😂 Best of luck with your search and I'm happy to help if I can! ☘️
We moved over to Ireland a little over a year back from The Netherlands and it has by far been the best move (pun intended) I ever made. Although we're still figuring out a lot, the people have been so welcoming and inviting, it is amazing! It's also hard working, in Ireland. If you find a job, that is. It took me 6 months to find a job, but I love it. I have to agree about you both the pro's and the con's and maybe it's good fortune that we're renting a nice house and we're in good health, but let's hope the government is looking into it and is willing to do something about it.
That's really cool! Glad to hear you've had a warm welcome. And well done on finding a job. What oartof Ireland did you settle in? Yeah you're right, things could be so much worse and Ireland is all that bad 😅 it has just as many problems as any other country, it just seems more frequent or longer lasting here sometimes. I hope the government does something about it too! 🤞🏻
@@TheIrishGuyVlogs We now live in Mallow and I work in Midleton. So quite a drive, but it's alright. We picked Mallow because of it now being the big city, like Cork, but also you have all means of transportation here. Trains, busses and roads (The Crossroads of Munster, right!) Work is still kind of different for ous but we're finding our way! Great channel! Just subbed!
@@DEADLINETV awesome! I lived in Cork for 4 years, it's a great county! And Mallow is a nice spot, close enough to the city hut far enough to have some peace and quiet too!. Do you work in the city? Thanks a lot for Subscribing, I really appreciate it. I subbed to your channel yesterday, you've got great content on there!
@@TheIrishGuyVlogs No, I work in Midleton. There's this place where they make whiskey and all. ;-) And thanks for the sub and compliment! Much appreciated! Learning more every day!
@@DEADLINETV ahhh I was in Midleton not so long ago, went to a little cafe for a sandwich near the distillery. Its a lovely little town, it had a nice vibe to it! Learn as you go. The more I know the more I realise I don't know 😅
U take the Good with the Bad m8 thanks for all Views on your home country.! I’ve been once 18 months ago & wanted to come back to work & explore, as an Aussie I enjoyed it as it’s the opposite to where I grew up in Desert country 😆🤠 cross your fingers for me as it looks like it gunna be hard to come back 😁🇦🇺
As a ginger pale person, the desert is my enemy 😂Fingers, toes, eyes, arms and legs crossed for you man! 🤞🏻💪🏻☘️
@@TheIrishGuyVlogs Thanks cobber.! 👍
How you do laddie I'm an American with Irish ancestors been studying to move the pluses and negatives on living in Ireland you've been very informative thank you
No worries, I'm glad I could help! ☘️
Ireland is a lovely place for exactly the reasons you mentioned. That is why I moved there last year, I even passed through Kilrush on the way from Galway to Killarney (with a little detour to the Cliffs of Moher) - but unfortunately I wasn't about to stay, one of the reasons being the housing crisis - it is as mad as you described it, absolutely no exaggeration there. I saw this video in advance and wanted to give it a try anyway, because Ireland is a wonderful and magical place, but unfortunately it didn't work out for me in the end. Maybe things will change in the future and I'll give it another go then. I would really love to!
I was living in Kinsale, Co Cork in the late 90’s ( I’m Swedish).
If the situation ever places me in Ireland again i would love to live in a Gaeltacht to learn the language properly. ( one can dream ).
Schizophrenic weather? To me i loved it. A bit of warm rain now and again only makes summer feel more like summer.
Our four seasons in Sweden are nice in many ways.......until it is your turn to shovel the snow. 🤣🍺
Hey, thanks for you comment! 😄 Kinsale and the South of Cork has some of the best weather in Ireland because its closer to the equator, its beautiful down there most of the time. I do like the Schizophrenic weather, its a good characteristic and we're world famous for it here 😂
Haha I've been to Sweden a few times, got to see all the seasons and even got to shovel some snow 💪🏻😎 It's a beautiful country!
🤣 Swedish guy likes Irish weather🤣
@@kevdaag2523 EXTRA EXTRA Read all about it 🗞 📣 Swedish guy likes Irish Weather 😱😂
I’m debating on moving to Ireland thanks for the up to date info! I want to return to my home country☘️
You're welcome Jordan. I'm glad it helped you! 😋☘️
Thank you but it seems to be very expensive in Ireland these days any idea where or how to find lower rates per month?
Have you been away for a while? Usually places outside of the city are a lot cheaper than living in the city, but them you have to commute, which adds up too. I think it really depends on where you want to settle.
Yeah I moved away about 5 years ago to the USA biggest mistake I made I miss it so much😢
You can take man out of Ireland but you can't take Ireland out of the man lol. It'll always call you home. If you're working in an indistry that we have in Ireland you might find a job here quickly, but nothing is certain with covid.
Excellent video! Thank you for sharing! I know it's been a couple of years since you have posted it. Just curious, have there been any changes as far as the health care, employment in rural areas or the housing situation?
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it 😄 the health system is still fairly bad, it's just not talked about as much bit from what I can tell, it's getting better, I had to go to hospital for a broken thumb about a year ago and I have to say it was hassle free. So Id like to say it's getting better but during covid it was an absolute joke for some very sick people.
"But out of all the places in the world, you could do far, far worse than Ireland."
I'm an American moving to Dublin in the fall (hopefully to stay) and this is the exact sort of sentiment I remind myself of. It ain't perfect, but from the outside looking in, it seems like a place I'd much rather be in than the US.
100% have to agree with you 👍🏻
Spot on! I live in London but have a family home over (and am your friend Johnny Murtagh's sister) I have spent most of the summer holidays in Ireland every year of the past 20 (not this year due to Covid) and I pack for winter with a couple of summer bits thrown in. We live in a small rural place near Ennis and there is a bus once a week! Without a car, you have no chance and work is at least a half hour drive away if your lucky. However, saying all that, it is my favourite place in the world to be. I just watched this and your first driving test video as I only decided to to learn at 45 and past in January.
Hey Joy, how are you? Thanks for your comment, I relaly appreciate it! It can be a tough place to live at times but like you said, it's my favourite place to be too. I love it. Congrats on passing your test! I sat mine on January 7th (2nd time) but I failed again 😅 3rd times the charm! Hope you're keeping well and safe! ☘️
@@TheIrishGuyVlogs Well, I hope you've not stopped and have booked up for the next test? You will do it, no problem. Then you won't know yourself! I have just done my first big road trip with the kids and thank goodness it all went great and it was sooo nice not to have to worry about buses or trains and to just chuck everything in and go. Good luck x
@@joymurtagh8233 Thanks Joy, I really appreciate that! I'll be booking my test soon enough. I'm in the process of buying a car, so I'll get that first, practice for a while and then sit the test again. 3rd times the charm...hopefully lol. Congrats on your first successful road trip, hopefully the☘☘ first of many! I cant wait to get a car, I'll be throwing a tent and sleeping bag into it and going off on adventures whenever I can :D Thanks Joy!!
Thanks for the video! I'm considering immigrating to another country, so this was helpful. I love the Irish culture, and it has iconic history and sites. And prehistory. I probably can't immigrate there though, I'm used to a lot of sunshine and don't drink. Nothing wrong with it, just not my thing. But I subscribed, you seem like a cool guy.
Thank you Caleb, I really appreciate your comment and for subscribing too! I'm not sure if I got it right in the video, but there's a lot more to Ireland than drinking and bad weather hahaha 😂
I have friends living in Ireland now and all of them said they love it there! So I did my research and found out a lot of amazing things about your country. Overall, I think the pros outweigh the cons! See you when I get there.. haha!
That's really cool! I think most people fall in love with Ireland after they spend a bit of time here! The pros definitely out weigh the cons! It's very quiet here at the minute and mostly everything is closed down but nature is still open 💪🏻 😂 Haha cool, safe travels! ☘️
@@TheIrishGuyVlogs Thanks for replying. Planning to work in the healthcare sector there actually. Though it will take some time because the process is quite tedious, but I’m still hoping that Ireland will have a place for me in the future. You’re lucky to be born and raised there. 😊
@@purplecandy5156 thank you for commenting! 😌 I really appreciate it. I think you would have no problem finding a job in the health care sector, depending what you want but there does seem to be a lot of healthcare jobs here. www.indeed.com is great for checking out job listings here. I'm sure ireland will have a place for you, just remember to pack warm 😂 I wasn't joking about the weather lol
A simple way to look at it is that all the pros are free and all the cons cost you money.
I'm a 65-year-old single dad from the Philippines and after watching your video, it encourages me to migrate and settle down for good in Ireland. I hope to bring my two younger kids, aged 12 and 14. Thank you!
Hello, thank you for your message! I'm glad I could encourage you to consider Ireland as a place you would like to live, before you do, please be sure to have enough research done for your own personal needs, before deciding to move here. We have a beautiful, welcoming country but we have so many issues here too! 🍀
I like please do more it was great Pleasure to watch Joseph Mcduffie Penascola Florida
Just wanted to say "what's good" from NYC!.
Not much, we're bracing for a Hugh storm here on the west coast, it's gonna get crazy soon 😅☘️ "What's good" from Ireland
dude im irish all you said was 100% spot on.. i had a friend come over hes not irish and just visiting for few days bc hes going to england and you said irish has alot of crack ovo ik what that means and he said yall tweakers i was like he means jokes and humor lmao but honestly dude u getting a sub from me have a good one :)
Thank you, I appreciate it!
we have a saying here in CApe Town, "if you don't like the weather, wait 15 minutes" so i'm quite use to weird weather and think i'll love Ireland.
😂 😂 That's a great saying! It could easily apply to Ireland 🍀I'm sure you will feel at home in Ireland if you're use to it! 👍🏻
I'm in cape town!! Trying to figure out if its time to use my irish passport and camps from all this crime!
@@joannehorn2399 you should totally do that. You're one of the lucky ones
I hope to visit Ireland some day. I would like to see where my family is from.
Same here
New subbie here from South Africa.
Hey, thank you so much! That's very cool, greetings from Ireland 🍀
i would like to have a drink with this guy!
Guinness?
I really want to come visit. Done made plans to come after we get done with the house.
You're both welcome over any time man! You'll get great tours and I'll buy ye a few cold ones 😅 I'm glad the video didn't put you off visiting 😂 cheers for watching man!
For sure my dude. Main reason to come is to come meet you in person and see the sights.
I'm almost the same in person. Slightly more 3D, but that's about it 😅 It would be cool to do man and we could be in each other vlogs too! 😎
Me & my little brother (17 & 15) are looking to move to Ireland in a few years, we’re Scousers so it’ll be great craic like 😂
Haha I think you'll love it here! I worked with some Scouse lads years ago doing scaffolding. A mad bunch of lads but really nice guys! Some of them hung around so they definitely like it here too! Thanks for watching 😄☘️
Dia duit! I love this video. I am Mexican raised in Texas, USA and I wanted to know a little more about the job situation in rural Ireland as I have always wanted to move there and live a quiet, serene life. Is it truly hard to work in a small town? Anyway, go raibh maith agat agus slán!
Hey, thanks for your comment, and sorry for the slow reply. It depends on what you want to do for work. If you work remotely, the wifi is pretty decent here in most places and remote work is no hassle. If you're looking for a job outside of home, usually healthcare, cleaning, engineering are the main jobs I see available here. But that's just my town, I'm sure that's different in towns closer to cities. It can be hard to get work in small towns but some work does pop up. If you're looking for jobs in Ireland ie.indeed.com and irishjobs.ie are great and LinkedIn too! ☘
Awesome
When the Irish fought for Mexico against America: the little-known legend of the ‘San Patricios
I'm sure will fit right in. There is a great history between Mexico and Ireland, good luck and all the best to you.
Now that is a terrific vlog, David. Just discovered your channel. We're a Nepalese-English family which is going to move to Ireland next year. Slightly scary but we will make it a success somehow. We want to buy a house and have chosen Killarney because I was there twice as a kid and loved the place. We won't be able to buy a car at first because paying cash for a house will soak up a lot of our money. We're not too much worried about the rain but I hope the sun comes out sometimes. So far I've just watched this vlog of yours but within a few days I will watch them all. Are leprechauns real ? Best wishes from Anthony in Lisbon, Portugal.
Hey Anthony, thanks a lot for watching! I will be doing an updated version of the video because things have changed even more since making that. The beat thing to do is what feel right for you and your family because everyone's perception of what's bad societally, is different. So you and your family could love it here, it has grown on me a lot the past few years but that's juat from trying to get on with life and not let the bad stuff get us down 💪🏻
Wow you sure are fast. Thanks David. I feel we are doing the best thing. We've been here in Portugal for the past few years and the heat and sweating gets us down in the long warm months. Well we don't get nearly enough rain also. I've liked everywhere in the world I've lived so far and I think that will include Ireland. I also have a home in Bournemouth, England and another in Kathmandu, Nepal. But I find the prospect of living in Co Kerry, very exciting. I will be starting to read all your vlogs very soon. Best, from Anthony@@TheIrishGuyVlogs
@@Daislark haha well if it was between Portuguese weather and Irish, I would pick Irish, but I'm also kinda ginger, so sun hates me! Killarney is a beautufil place, different to Bournemouth, which is lovely too, I've never been to Kathmandu but it looks awesome! We'll say Killarney is the Kathmandu of Ireland 😂 Thanks again, happy watching and safe travels!
I'm not even sure where on TH-cam I started, but now I want to move to Ireland
I dare you 😜🍀
That’s so true. But one of the best countries and cultures in the world
Amazing culture and talent. Its a pity about the weather 😅😂 Thanks for watching Annika!
Hi, thanks for your sincere overview. I'm pondering to move to Ireland. Just wondering how is the internet connection in small cities? is there a optic fiber coverage all over the country?
Hey, thanks for your question, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. There isn't fiber everywhere but it's there is in a lot of places. You can usually check the coverage on the websites of the Internet provider, so if you have an idea of where you'll be living, you can check to see if they service that area, most places are covered from what I know.
I am researching about Ireland for few days because I think it is very interesting place and I must say that I am a Little suprised that there are shortage of beds in hospital and housing problem- population is relatively low (I am from Poland we have 40mln citizens ) and always thinking that in smaller and less populated countries is easier to privide good health care as well as social welfare (which I am not big fan of) but its seems like scandinavian countries are taking care of these things greatly and I thought Ireland is similar at this matter, especially that in one video I watched yesterday one girl said that in Ireland taxes are very high so this cons with health care really suprised me.
Hi Oskar, thank you for your message! Ireland is a very interesting place. Sadly it has it's share of problems. I ou would think in smaller countries it would be easier but there never seems to be enough money here or most of it gets spent in the cities and a lot of the time "rural Ireland" (Any place outside if a city) gets forgotten about 😔 Scandinavian countries are great for taking care of their citizens, I spent some time in Sweden and even got to see their medical devices at work, it was very impressive! We could learn a lot from them. And I'm sure we will in time, the rest of the world needs to catch up with them 😂 How are things in Poland? I hope Covid is starting to caml there. Thanks for reaching out ☘️
@oskarolejnik6397 why are you giving out about my countries social welfare system? It doesn't affect you so don't be giving out about it.
Pain the hole sometimes, but I love it 😂
It's the irish way 😂
thank you for this video! I love Irish culture and I love the overall country. Would you say that I, someone with diabetes, autism, many other illnesses would be a good fit to move there? America is extremely dangerous for people like me right now so I'm trying to gather as much info as i can.
Hey, thanks for your comment and i appreciate you watching but unfortunately I'm not in a position to answer your questions. I know next to nothing about any of conditions or illnesses and giving advice to you could be really dangerous. It's something you would have to do you own research on. If you have other questions I'd be happy to answer them.
Hey! thanks for the video!
I would like to share a thought. Please don't take this as a criticism.
Imagine you go to a desert island with a friend and stay there for 2 years. You can't take a lot, but you need to decide exactly what to take, especially food. When deciding what you're going to eat during all this time, you let your friend decide what to take, because you're busy with other things. When you guys get there and there's no way back. You find out that your friend chose slugs and rotten fish to be the meal for 2 years(and he forgot the water). As strange as it sounds, this friend loves rotten fish and slugs for lunch. Now you'll live for 2 years with it and you won't be able to complain, it's the only food you'll have for 2 years.
Abstaining from your vote is like letting someone else pick the rotten food for you and no matter what happens, you're just going to have to swallow it.
Hey, thanks for your comment! And I kind of agree with you, a bit. The problem I have with politics and voting is that the majority wins. Which is "democracy" after all. That might seem great on one side, because the majority of people have got what they voted for. But so many other people didn't get what they voted for. So we are in a system that isn't inclusive of everyone, yes it acknowledges their vote, but if they're not in the majority, their vote isn't heard and they are excluded. I don't want to be a part of a system that doesn't work to help everyone. Humans claim to be civilised but here we are millions of years into our existence, hating and fighting people who happen to think differently to us. The political system promotes division and can only succeed when people are divided and when at least 49% of the people don't get what they want. That's not a fair system, and not something I will be a part of.
Derry girls brought me here. I don't doubt the employment issues. Theres also something to be said for the opposite of progress.. It's a nice preservative. Think what it would be like in 50 years though, a whole new list of problems, and Ireland would be a completely different place.
Derry girls brought you here?? 😅 That's really cool, it's a great show. I can't even imagine what Ireland will look like in 50 years 🤯 Or earth for tbat matter. We'll have to sort our stuff out by then
Hello from Brazil! Planning to moving out to Ireland in 2023. Instead of all those problems, I still believe that Ireland is better than Br, except for the weather...or maybe not....lol

Darling I love that weather and Iam from Poland 🇵🇱
Then you would definitely love Ireland 😋
Thank you for your insight, I need some help though, I am trying to compare Limerick, Galway and Waterford. I am considering them as my possible final destination. Which of these 3 cities would you recommend ?
Ive only ever visited Waterford once, it's a lovely city but I wouldn't be able to say how nice it was to live there. Galway would be my top choice probably out of all the counties, it's a great city, great vibe, close to home (for me) and it has the real Irish feel to it. Limerick is a nice city too but it feels like a city. Galway feels like a large town, less built up and feels less restrictive than Limerick. Have you decided on where you want to go?
How about Cork City,, i think its the second largest city in Ireland,
@@lucygernale3374 I lived in Cork for 4 years and I still consider it my 2nd home. I loved living there. My top cities and counties are Galway, Cork and Clare ☘️
As an Irish person I can't stress enough how much higher the quality of life is elsewhere in Europe.
I spent a little bit of time in Sweden and it was a completely different way of living. Ireland feels like a blatant trap sometimes 🙈
Agreed, I would live in the netherlands again, the hague, classy joint .
Hey man, just stumbled upon your channel by chance. I like your honest takes. We're definitely like-minded on those social issues. I actually worked for a nonprofit that secured housing for homeless families in the Washington DC area for a few years. Everything you're saying resonates loudly with me on the subject. I'll check out your other videos and sub. As an American (with now-pending EU citizenship) I'm trying to figure out where my wife and I will land in Europe 1-2 years from now. USA democracy may not last to 2030 at this rate. Sounds crazy out loud, but it's really not... Anyway, Ireland is one of our top choices. My wife has a few chronic health issues. Does private insurance in Ireland (in general) make a big difference in being seen or scheduling/receiving care, surgeries, etc from what you've experienced and heard about? I appreciate your time and any thoughts you share on that. Cheers
Hey Jeffrey, how are you? Thanks for watching and getting in touch. It sounds like you do some very honorable work! That's really cool to see. Covid has brought out a lot of the problems in the Health System here. Private health care is probably the best way to get seen asap. There's a lot of waiting lists and people are often on them for years and then pushed back more and more. Go Private if you can afford it or get it subsidized through work etc.
Should do a Christmas special were u give a small present to a sub or something

Yeah I agree it looks that way sometimes when you see all the shite going on there. Plenty of brown envelopes being exchanged there lol. That's a really good one! I never thought of the irish accent 😅 it's been voted the sexiest accent in the world a load of times, I dunno if they've ever heard a South Kerry accent 😂 it's definitely not sexy lol. You're right though, our accent is a great pro! I might have to do a part 2 lol. Sadly it was way easier to come up with bad things about Ireland than it was to come up with good things.

when i was in ireland i got #5 con as well as #5 pro combined.. standing on the cliffs of moher seeing nothing coz of the fog.. too bad.. have to come back another day.. must funny about i was asked where i will spend the weekend and stupid enough i said i will go to the cliffs of mother.. yea right.. better look twice was a big laugh but not for me though ;)
Haha the Cliffs of Mother 😂 right next to Daddy's Rock 😜😂 These things happen! And making an Irish person laugh is a way of disarming them, so you did well. Unfortunate about the fog but I feel like you got the real Irish experience 😅
@@TheIrishGuyVlogs yeah well I have to admit all of them were just great.. Haven't seen a single unfriendly person. Although I was shocked when I landed and got a cab at the airport. The driver was super loud and swearing ended up "if you only have a credit card get the fuck out of my car and get a taxi".. (didn't really know there was difference between cab and taxi but anyway).. Well like most of them were sweaing all the time but it was ok I was used to it after a week haha
Not only is public transport bad but i nearly got stuck in Kilrush one time. I was staying a few miles away and was in the pubs with the intention of getting a taxi late. Could not get one for love or money. Luckily someone was going close by and offered a lift. I gave them the same fare which they didn't want to take but i insisted as otherwise i would have likely had to book into a B&B as was not going to walk along those roads after a load of Guinness! It totally put me off going there in the future. Perhaps i just picked a bad night! It's sad that the population is falling as limited jobs to take locally. Like many countries, the bulk of funds go to the big population centres. But even setting aside work, there is little for the young to do. Again you have to travel a distance. I remember when young going to the cinema in Kilrush.
Unless it's the weekend you don't see many taxis around and even then it's usually kind of later in the evening. They were a lot more common years ago. Even adding am earlier morning bus and later evening bus would make a massive difference to the town and all the other towns and villages on the route. I can see why it would put you off going there, and walking out that road after a few pints is really not a good idea. Fair play to the person that gave you a lift.
It's sad, the town really isn't what it used to be but I get the feeling it will change for the better. Moneypoint is going to be a huge blow though. Ah man, the Mars cinema, I remember going to see Back to The Future 2 there, it melted my brain 😂 It was amazing. My dad has told me loads of stories about it too, theres a night club underneath the cinema too. When I'm a wealthy Philanthropist I'll buy it and bring it back to its glory 😅
So you mean to tell me, I need to start a rideshare business in Ireland and I'll do just fine. 😂
It would probably do really well here 😂
hi, this guy sounds nice and im sure most are but i see alot of comments on you tube from irish that still dont like the english, i hope thats not really the case, as i want to move here, into rural ireland west coast
You don't have anything to worry about when it comes to Irish people being bitter about British people. We are patriotic when it comes to it. There's no doubt about it. And what Britain has done to Ireland over the years, has been appalling. But that doesn't mean we don't like British people. And in every group of people there will be haters. I'm sure there are groups of British people who say the same thing about Irish people. Every country has these people. It's a small fraction of the country and not a good representation of that countries ideals. ☘️

In Los Angeles alone we have over 66,000 homeless individuals, I think it's an issue all over the western world and it's not getting any better.
Sadly I think you're right. There have been a lot of theories on how to help the current homeless people but most governments don't want to adopt any solutions or modern practices when it comes to helping the homeless. It's very sad. I was in California a few years ago there was a lot of homeless people there, I had never seen anything like it 😑
I rate one day in like 500 years time when most everyone is rich there will just be an uprising and everyone will pull down the homes of the top 1% haha
Do you have high speed Internet in rural areas in Ireland? IT professionals can work in rural areas if they have good internet. The pandemic has proven that you don't need to do IT work in an office in a major city. I live in an economically depressed area but it does not matter since I find work online.
Hey, thanks for your question! Thankfully the Internet speed here is getting better and much faster and the government are starting to redevelop more rural areas and trying to bring work back there and keep people there, so they don't have to move to the cities just to work. It would be really nice to see a lot of the towns getting some life back into them. I'm trying to find online work too. Any suggestions? Thanks

When you mean rural Ireland are you including cities like Galway or Limerick? I don't really know the Irish standard for a rural or small city, since here in Argentina we have our capital with 10 million and 2 more big cities with 1 million each, which is kind of different compared to the 500.000 of Dublin
Thanks for making this video! as someone who will most likely immigrate to Ireland in the coming years it's nice to be able to access this kind of information
Also, it's pretty funny to see your disgust towards certain aspects of the country and realize "wow, 600 people without healthcare, that's literal heaven, we have at least 100 times that", not as an intention of seeing your problems as petty, but hell, how I dream of those being the problems in the country that I live in instead of blatant corruption of politics and police, a currency that devaluates 60% each year, one of the most restrictive economies, not being able to save up money since buying dollars is taxed at +50%, a sickening stockholm syndrome infected society who fell in love with fascism and not being able to go out for a walk in the street without the fear of having a gun pointed at you or having to worry when opening your door about thieves trying to go in on you, or steal things from semi-open windows, etc
Shite, Europe, and Ireland in particular truly seems to be literal heaven, life quality seems to be skyrocketing there when compared to the shithole that is Argentina
Hey, thanks for your comment! Galway and Limerick wouldnt be included when I tlak about rural Ireland. I'm taking about towns with small populations, less than 5k, I think mine has around 2500ish. It can be tough to find work sometiems, doing what you want to do and not what's available who h usually means retraining etc. But I guess it depends on the pace and lifestyle you want for yourself.

So your saying The weather in Ireland is Bipolar.I love the weather where I live here in Georgia-USA. If your a fan of The Walking Dead it's filmed about 20 minutes from my house. I LOVE Ireland's lango. I can understand this guy very well. Some Irish people I can't. Americans health care isn't that Great either, but NOT that bad.American's homeless is in the MILLIONS & U think like me. There are empty house sitting every where. Let put them in it. The churches do a lot for our homeless. I am a Half breed-Native American Indian & Irish, etc...& I would love to Visit to see the castles, drink a pint, listen to the stories. Sounds fun. MY kind of People. GREAT VIDEO !!!
Haha it is definitely very unpredictable weather. 4 seasons in a days is the best way to describe it! That's really cool about the Walking Dead! I watched it for a few seasons but I just kind of lost interest after a while and moved onto other shows. But I might go back to it sometime.
I think it's terrible that homeless people are literally sitting outside empty houses while the Governments seem like they don't consider them worthy of a home. It's madness. Hopefully you get a chance to visit Ireland soon when things return to "normal" lol. Thanks for your comment, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! ☘
I live in Massachusetts so the weather is pretty bipolar like Ireland. On February 14 2016 the temp was -9 Farenheight which is -22.77 Celsius. The cost of housing here is nuts and gets worse every year. The level of homelessness is an issue but not as bad as Los Angeles or New York. Most people definitely have to get as far away from the city to find an affordable home.

What if I lost my job? Wb social security system?
Good question! There is a social welfare system in place for unemployed people and newly unemployed. I'm not sure if that applies to non citizens so it would be worth looking into if you're outside Ireland. There's Jobseekers allowance and its about €203 per week, there's also Job Seekers Benefits and the amount given is based on your previous tax contributions.

Dude, you should vote. It's good that your expressing your opinions, that's a form of taking action. But so is voting. Trying to be constructive here: it's a bit weak to complain about your government but then not vote. Voting seems like the easiest, bare minimum thing you can do to try to change things. In the US, if only 100k more people had stayed home on election day, we'd have had Trump for another four years.
I'll be honest I've came very close to voting in the past and it's something that I probably should do. A lot of people have died so that I could have that right. I guess it's more down to my view on the whole system of politics. But I think I have a just as much right, if not more, to complain about the state of the government because I've never had a hand in putting it into that state. Even though I do benefit from a system which I think is corrupt, I know it does a lot of good for people, me included. But things like lack of funds when it comes to building hospitals, schools, homes for citizens,is just ridiculous, when a government is failing to provide basic human amenities, it will never have my vote.
Hi there, we are a family with a son of 5 and we are moving to Ireland. When it comes to school, I've been informed that Gaelic is mandatory to study at school and is an exam subject and may affect the following acceptance at the University. Could you please clarify the weight of studying this language at school? Checking online it seems people don't give much importance to that but at the end, it seems affecting the career of a student.
Thank you!
Hey, thanks for your question. The majority of schools here study Irish and they have exams on it too. Even though its mandatory most Irish people don't want to learn or use Irish, because its non essential here and is only spoken in certain areas of the country, I think that's a shame but it is what it is. They tell students that it plays a big part in their leaving cert exam but that's not true. It's just as important as any other exam, it doesn't have any affect on a students career unless they want to do something in the irish language fields or teaching or similar areas. But they way the leaving cert is done, it totals all the point from each exam on all the different subjects, and then you're able to decide what career you're elegible for based on your total of points. That's what I mean by each test being as important as the other. Failing one exam such as Irish would affect the overall mark and I guess further down the line could affect their career, which to me is a just a silly way to do things. So basically if they want to teach Irish it's essential, if they don't it's not. But they still need to study it and try to ace the exam because each exam affects the overall final mark. I hope that has cleared it up for you 😅
@@TheIrishGuyVlogs Thanks for replying. Much appreciated. May I also ask at what level the language is usually taught? I mean the aim of the school is to drive you fluent in Gaelic or opposite is more "academic" way focused to pass the exam?
@@BrigataUPG no problem! In schools here you have 3 levels to each exam. Foundation, Ordinary and Honours. Foundation is for subjects you can't really get the grasp of. Ordinary is the standard level and then Honours would be for advanced learners. Ideally the school would want you to do honours because it loos better for them to have more honour students but it's down to the student and their level of skill. But don't be fooled into thinking that Irish is essential to have a job or career here, that's really not the case. It's just one exam in the overall final exam.

Thé homelessness crisis is heartbreaking ❤️🩹
It really is 😔 Hoping its getting better!
The homelessness problem isn’t abojt housing. It’s usually about mental illness or substance abuse - people that wouldn’t be able to live in a house that you give them and look after themselves.
It has became a lot worse since I made this video. Honest hardworking Families through no fault of their own are being kicked out of their homes because of rising rent, greedy landlords and hopeless leadership. They don't have mental issues or drug habits but are definitely being out in a position where both of them are now possible due to being made homeless.
@@TheIrishGuyVlogs that sounds terrible! Is there no social welfare system so that people don’t have to live on the streets???
@@pippilotta3511
there is a social welfare system but because the price of rent is so expensive in a lot of places, people can't afford to have their own place or even find a place to begin with. There was a video online recently of 200 people queuing to look a house in Dublin and hopefully rent it...that kind of sums it up. Plus on top of that the government is doing very little about it and they're allowing the properties to be bought by private companies and then rented for insane prices. A Broken system creates broken people.
@@TheIrishGuyVlogs very sad. Same where I live. But our government pays rent / insurance and cost of living when people lose their jobs so they can keep their apartments. But prices are skyrocketing for new renters. I don’t understand why people live in cities anymore. I hate it there. Countryside housing is cheap though in Ireland right?
