I'm done with Ireland - Which EU Country to move to

Hello Moto GP · 05-07-2021 4:30pm #1

I'm done with the bolloxology which is our government, I cannot listen to them any longer and the housing crisis with everything going on with them. They promise everything and deliver nothing. Overpaid Public Sector staff, outdated health system, housing crisis, Covid management and could go on and on.

For a professional what country would you move to and why? Australia and US are out of the question. I'm 28 BTW.

Any European country. They all have greener grass :rolleyes:

Throw a dart in the map and pick one.

Then spend some time there and realise that every other country has its problems too, and Ireland is nothing special in that regard.

Sweden, very modern in the EU

Genuine question O.P. what is your profession? If it’s IT for example anywhere will be happy to have you and you could work through English in most E.U. capitals...

Your options will probably be quite limited to where you'll be able to find decent paying work that will enable you to have a much better life. Often work is only available in busy cities where it's hard to get accommodation and not that much cheaper than here.

Germany actually seems to be one of the best.

They're having a huge huge issue with the migrants they have given free pass to enter, many villages/towns now have less actual locals then they do Syrians and so on...
Have friends over there and there are many no go areas....

Funny when you think the Germans were set on killing and now they can't get enough people into their country, this will and is back firing big time.... Not talking about the killing part.

branie2 · 05-07-2021 4:40pm

And put mayonnaise on your chips

punisher5112 · 05-07-2021 4:41pm

Spain or Portugal, at a push France and maybe Germany as was there a few times it was a nice place but what I'm hearing isn't good these days.

Hello Moto GP · 05-07-2021 4:43pm

I say i'd be home after a month if i went to amsterdams, too many distractions haha

There are more Germans in parts of Cork than locals.

France looks good actually. Cheap accommodation and decent country.

Seriously...you think you have it bad. I have had to put with a Tory Government for the past 10 years now led by Boris Fcuking Johnson...and to top it off there is a very real risk they will win the Euros.

I would go farming in the Andes.

Somewhere on the French German border would be perfect.

Depends on what you do for work and what you're looking for? If your concerns are egalitarianism in health and housing, I'd say maybe a smaller city in the Netherlands or Scandanavia. But in Scandanavia could potentially kill you from boredom (with the exception of Copenhagen). Vienna Austria (but no other part of Austria if you value open mindedness at all) is a good shout, you'll have to learn German for any decent paying job though.

If you want to leave Europe entirely and the USA and Australia are out, then New Zealand (but almost everything there is outdated by our standards, I think you can still swipe and sign for card transactions and pasta is 'foreign food'.

If you want to earn a few quid it completely depends on your profession but Dubai, Saudi and Singapore usually come out on top. But of course these places are as brutal and backwards as they are outdated. In terms of healthcare and housing, it's how much you have to spend and that's it, no exceptions.

You're generalising, both about France and Ireland.

Many urban areas of France have their own housing crisis. Sure, you might be able to get cheap accommodation in rural areas (as you can in Ireland), but will you get a job and services?

France's Civil Service costs is equal to a quarter of its GDP and a employs fifth of the country's workforce.

France occupies number 25 on the 2021 World Index of Healthcare Innovation, which ranks healcare systems by Quality, Choice, Science & Technology and Fiscal Sustainability. Ireland is at number 4.

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with France, just that it doesn't meet the criteria that you set out in your own OP.
