That means the rest of the country is less efficient. In that scenario the net flow of money will be in one direction. Basic economics here.What you see when you go on your trip to Dublin and think there are 'more facilities than anywhere outside dublin' is acutally a density of facilities. This is to match the density of population. There is a difference between 'density' and 'amount' which you also probably need to do some research on. Your argument that because 3m live outside Dublin, and 1m inside makes absolutely no sense if you think about it. With that nonsense you could argue that someone who is on €500k a year is hugely a net beneficiary of the tax pot, because he is only 1 person and the rest of the country is 3.999999m. Of course that is nonsense as we know the guy on €500k pays €250k odd of tax in the year.

Are the roads not filled with people who haven't a clue how to drive in wintry weather, bus stops thronged with confused commuters wondering where there Bambionicemobile is, pavements littered with the bumprints of the fallen? Maybe things are improving.

Some definitions of culchie: Google: "an unsophisticated country person" OED: "one who lives in, or comes from, a rural area; a (simple) countryman (or woman), a provincial, a rustic" Dicitionary.com: "a rough or unsophisticated country-dweller from outside Dublin"
