Sick of this country

I've had the misfortune to work with guys like you whose whole demeanour and attitude tends to bring an air of gloom around the place. So will you just go,anywhere, just go!

I wonder will the Australians look at you like you look at the Ukrainians coming here?

Going over there to make a better life for yourself and the joys of their country?

Get to fùck.......

It's self fulfilling. Where I work most people are positive, optimistic and we're all doing reasonably well. My brother works with a group where every problem in their life is the governments fault and when you meet up with them for a pint you'd want to give up on life after half an hour listening to them.

With other groups it's more "I have a problem, this is how I fixed it, or I'm doing X or Y". With them it's "Fianna Fail this or Fine Geal that or Sinn Fein etc. etc.". I complain about the government too but I'm not sitting around waiting for them to fix everything (or anything).

When you move abroad (I've done it) you tend to meet up with the people who are positive and working hard and you have no chance to blame the government for all your problems as you're not a resident. If you fail, then you're out on the street with absolutely no state support so sitting around naval gazing isn't an option.

Subjective obviously but I prefer Ireland (and Europe in general) better night life than Australia. But depends what you're into.

Have you been before yeah?

Where do the government build all the extra properties ? Start CPOing land ? Start disregarding planning laws ?

the Ukranians are educated but they can attain a far better, safer, well paid quality of life here. which many will. More people in the jobs market simply drives wages down for people here. Look at the UK for example…. Research the wages multinationals pay here vs what they pay UK staff, a significant difference… the wages are shît over there….that is yet another problem we are inviting here.

I seriously think people are underestimating…

1) how many of the Ukranians will be wanting and doing everything they can to stay here. An amnesty is a 100% on the cards. Plus how many of their military, medical staff in time will want to get the fûck out of dodge…and over here to be with loved ones. That will 100% be facilitated… Some comfort for a taxpayer here having gone through college and can’t get housing, can’t get a job, cant get a medical card, can’t get adequate healthcare if the required it and can’t get a mortgage. The pressures on housing, healthcare and other infrastructure, now, before the second influx 😬

2) how long this war will go on for and how much of a threat Russia would be with a new leader… ? If Putin dies say ? We are being completely presumptuous in believing just Putin is the problem. He is being plenty enabled, supported. Shoigu and Gerasimov are completely in line and have personally threaten the Ukraine.

its a pretty miserable future, Sinn Fein showing themselves up for the hyper hypocritical non democratic agenda riddled shower who are more concerned with the plights of others outside our borders. And taking problems we’ve never had and inviting them here. But inviting an electorate that will have sympathy and gratitude for SF.

you democratically invite SF to be in government …. You really believe it would be attainable to democratically force them out ? I don’t.

Sounds like you're all excited to hear the loyalist fascist Tommy Robinson speaking in Dublin this weekend.

No, but thanks for your contribution 😉

Precisely, high taxes are all well and good, if citizens get bang for their buck… high taxes to pay for sorting out the wellbeing of others ? No thanks.

if I’m handing a guys in a car dealership 100,000 euros I’d like a top of the range high end vehicle of my choosing. If I hand him 100,000 and get givin a 2012 micra and be told he’s going to be giving others cars with the excess cash, to help them out, it’s not exactly kosher. :)

Perhaps Steven toast you should wonder, when the OP arrives in Australia, will he (and family) be met at the airport by a welcoming party with Irish flags, will transport be organised for him to a 4 star hotel, will this hotel + all meals etc. be paid for him as long as he wishes to stay. Will he be paid social welfare & children's allowance (even if he works 5 or 6 days a week for cash) will all his medical bills be paid, will free transport be provided for him to airport and back if/when his decided to go on holidays for a week or two or visit home If the answer is yes in all cases then he'll be on par with Ukrainians here.
