Hmm, and where did you get that data from?
From a not very relevant
source, local media and the experiences of some people from my country who work there. They are of course quite satisfied with the conditions they find there, because they can earn more than twice as much as here and still save every month. Of course, there is also the attitude towards the worker, which is hard to imagine here.
There is really work here and you can make a lot of progress, mostly because their working class is leaving the country. They target countries such as England, the USA and New Zealand, although I don't understand why, because Ireland is still the country with the fastest growing economy in Europe...
As soon as we landed in Ireland, people from xxx welcomed us. They organized our trip to the accommodation, which they also paid for for the first six weeks. As an employee, they refunded the price of the ticket, and they even found Irena a job in one of the partner stores...
Honestly, I am not surprised that so many Irish people are leaving the country. I have a few close relatives there so I visited them a couple of times and I didn't like what I see and could never live there. Its a weird combination of 3rd world country infrastructure and 1st world salaries, where bunch of people are getting loads of money for doing nothing/very little. It might be an interesting place to live if you are 20yo and all you want is to party and have a good time, but raising kids there? No thnx.
I did not know that there is such a view of Ireland, and that someone thinks that our country is better for raising children than Ireland - and I am honestly surprised that they have such a bad infrastructure, considering that they are not some kind of poor third world country.
