    There are some big towns / cities outside of Dublin with plenty of housing, plenty of schools, rail links, plenty of infrastructure. No crime or traffic or pollution to speak of (compared to Dublin ) , and people can cycle or take part in the great outdoors. They just need jobs. Serious imbalance in the country which is not healthy.

    "They just need jobs" -- you put your finger on it. We are only at the beginning of a return to economic growth. In the short to medium term, most if not all growth will be due to productivity and employment increases thanks to the multinational services sector. These companies already have a foothold in the major cities. When they expand, they will continue to expand in the major cities. The best that regional towns can hope for in the medium term is that relatively wealthy people might settle there as Dublin housing costs go up.
