What will Ireland look like by 2050?

If you’re looking at a map in 25 years time, it’ll still look like the UK is spooning Ireland, and we’re the little spoon 😳

"a lot worse" how, exactly?

2003 wasn't really much different to now, 2053 probably won't be that different either.

Mild and overcast.

I'm looking forward to a simpler life with the added bonus of higher degree of aerobic fitness in this shiny new future of yours!

I'd imagine more women in tight fitting figure hugging ski bottoms wouldn't look too bulgy in all the wrong places under this exciting new regime either...

Always look on the bright side of life! Do do, do do do di do!

Part of the United States.

It will be amazing with all the new Irish, the LGBTQ I+ office in the Dublin 2 central mosque. All those woeful cisgendered people will be mysteriously wiped out in the mysterious wave of deaths.

Judge Joyce living in the Charles Hab-village. Drop down to the pub for some synthy stout? It will be great!!!

Pint will be 75€ each at current inflation rates

Dublin going for 30 Leinsters in a row

it will be mayo’s year for Sam (again)

Full of climate change refugees, FG will still be keeping the house prices artificially inflated by preventing new ones from being built and there will be a monorail to Dublin airport

Artificial intelligence will have rendered humans surplus to requirements and we just spend all day wired up to virtual reality machines enjoying roles in adult movies.

These will be the survivors of the 2030 right wing purge. Left wingers using ai identified through board postings "extreme right wing" elements. Said ai robots traced right wing boards to their real life address and bank accounts. The digital currency was then denied to the right wingers.

Right wingers sadly had no choice but to comply with left wingers demand for ai powered "neural network rearrangement".

Right wingers then had their neural networks rearranged to accept unlimited migration and the idea that there are two thousand genders.

It will be like penal times in Ireland. You will be taxed for every window in your tent.

Rates of depression and suicide will skyrocket even further because of the housing crisis, but the government will borrow billions for health care boards and management to understand why instead of just Googling, asking ChatGPT, Denmark, or the dogs on the street.

Then they will discover why and promise to sort out the housing problem again.

Taylor Swift will do her definitely final farewell tour and loads of people will want to attend even though they don't know any of her songs.

Ryan Tubridy will be discussing his plans for the toy show, in July. And the people will be glad. The guests on the show will be Michael Bublé, a British singer who draped themselves in a tri colour at Slane, the cast of Mrs Brown's boys, a boxer who won a gold medal, and Bosco.

Ryan will dress up as a lobster and dance will the Billy Barry kids and interview desperately sick children for likes on his Instagram account.

The RTE license fee will be 1000 euro and RTE will invest billions in more flagship property porn programs starring architects with HUGE black glasses frames.

Darragh O'Brien will be president of Ireland.

First thing that comes to mind is that "Net Zero by 2050 promises" would not be fulfilled. Not even close.

So you're going to emigrate to get away from the immigrants? I really struggle to see how we'd ever have worse scumbags in Dublin than our own born and bred ones anyway, it's surely impossible.
