- The Republic of Ireland is considered to be one of the most pro-EU member states, and the Eurobarometer poll that came out this spring bears that out: 67 percent of respondents said that the EU conjures up a positive image. But being pro-European does not necessarily mean supporting the traditional pro-EU parties in Ireland. Indeed, this election campaign has seen increased support for independent candidates. Is that trend related to the big social challenges that Ireland is facing - housing, and the cost of living?

Affordable housing, cost of living is exactly the same in Australia, USA, UK or just about anywhere else in the western world
" world" not only "western world"
Pro European is not the same as pro EU
It's a land use problem, Ireland has a low population density, it's empty. You can get 90% of the comfort of a house for under $3000, a canvas wall tent, diesel heater, solar, gas etc
Get out of people's way and force farmers to give temporary leases on small plots. Screw the scenery, let people have a shag and good night's kip.
Why didn't you have an actual independent candidate instead of 2 establishment party members?
Exactly what I was thinking. They might hear unpalatable truths.
Supply and demand. Very mysterious
Not at all, a dictatorship forcing an enormous number of foreign immigrants onto the Irish people has caused a huge backlash. Instead of asking us they deceived, intimidated, and insulted the Irish people.
Ireland's main political parties will pay a very heavy price for what they have done to Irish society.
@@noeldoyle4501 I heard the irish have been emigrating so much most Irish actually don't live in Ireland anymore...
But I guess when Irish do it is ok :)
Yeah I’m on the emergency housing list for years now and my 6year old son is sleeping in the bed with my wife and I am sleeping on the couch and my eldest daughter has a life threatening condition called mitochondria disease and lots of other things let alone she could pass away any time we don’t know when and we have no smoke alarms ringing about it since November and still no one has been out to fix them and blocked drains and leaking roof and getting told that they have no houses and see all the houses they are giving out to people that are only in the country so we’re is are home can anyone answer me desperately trying to give my daughter a safe place to live and be happy not depressed and stressed out
If the housing market was not rigged, house prices would fall rapidly to below the lows of 2012. For 30,000 euro you would able to buy what presently costs 300,000 euro. But it is frustrating waiting for the bubble to pop. I think an old fashioned boycott of renting from REITs could be just the ticket but a crash in house prices could be caused by a lot of other things.
The Irish , most of tehm probably living outisde Ireland FROM EMIGRATING hating immigrants says it all about this movement. Me and my relatives can do it others can not.
Yeah we Irish move and work hard in other countries these tramps are coming with no job’s getting put up in hotels and attacking kids with knifes and the rise in sex attacks on women is a disgrace we Irish won’t stand for it vote these elite scum out
