the cost of living is too high and the wages are too low, one major cause is the effects of globalisation and immigration

[@slynskey333]

Yep I'm one of them...professional, 44, moved to UK, same wages better housing

[@samdavid9237]

Best of luck. I am 27 with a job opportunity come up in London so planing to make the move myself.

[@theminderoshea1]

Don't leave fight

[@zzzzzxcvhjiiiibbbb]

Stop supporting European Union

[@colinsmith1288]

Too be honest moving to the uk is like moving to a second home. No work permit needed,no need of right of abode,lots of jobs and good housing stock, both islands share the same lingo. Plus traveling to see family is usually a 45 minute plane ride away.

It woukd cost money but need to reopen closed train lines.

[@macallangiunta9825]

I'm Canadian and looking to emigrate to Ireland for the exact same reasons you outline here. Welp, I guess a global recession is coming...

….nor is it a country for the aged either! Can’t live on the lousy pension after losing my assets in a divorce.

[@theminderoshea1]

public transport in ireland is the number one problem. it affects everything and the cost of living affected too.
and its why there is such a car culture and it affects the housing market. most houses all around ireland are not connected by a public transport system.

[@horsemanoftheapocalapse5837]

Cars cost a fortune realistically its 200 a week . Public transport is dreadful unless you live along one of the train lines.

[@horsemanoftheapocalapse5837]

Irish peolle always left. Teaching jobs are a joke ,Two year HDip and 10 hours a week in a place you need to buy a car to get to. How can anyone fund a job that pays so little.
