    umm, I am in Scotland, its not exactly cheap here, my rent is 450 snots a month.

    cost of living is bull ****, Ireland has driven itself to a early grave with insane salaries.


    the only good thing to come out of this is eegits taking out tsunami shattering loans on cars they cant afford and flog them for next to nothing.

    Sure I'd pick 450 snots in a week...

    Salarys for most main stream jobs in the uk are a lot less than Ireland,

    look at accounting jobs, 80k+ salarys lolz

    no wonder people turn down jobs paying 'just' 28k when they get that (and more) on welfare

    this is why people like myself have to get the f**k out of the place.

    Thats what you get for living in Scotland! Early grave? What? We're not dead just yet ;) I pay €400pm for a three year old four bed semi, thats 2/3's of a weeks income for me, sure I need the rest for beer, cigs and chicks!

    Norn Irelands salarys also reflect pretty the same on the whole of the uk, give or take.

    so does that mean dublin is a hell lot more expensive than britain .:rolleyes:

    I somehow doubt it.... Lidl here is as dear as back in kerry.

    Fairly stupid to compare a capital city to a whole Nation, but since you asked.

    Dublin is more expensive to live in that some area's of Britain but cheaper to live in than others.

    I dunno about China, but Norn Korea doesn't really have a ring to it.

    This country is ****ed because of reckless bank lending due to bad regulation which was then made into public debt by the last government.

    I don`t believe this hype at all. Name me one person who I can verify has tured down a job for 28k. How exactly do they get 28k on welfare?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,644 ✭✭✭theg81der


    I don`t agree with the figures presented on the table for Southern Ireland. I wonder if it is the city not the rest of the country doesn`t tally with my salary expectation and what others are being paid now, too high not low.

    Its not exactly a like for like comparison. I'm sure the ROI jobs include Dublin, whereas NI wages are pretty much the lowest in the UK. If you compared Dublin to London you'd find those salary scales closer to parity or even in London's favour. Also don't forget that the pound is at an all-time low against the Euro, and it will take a long time for that change to wash through; its not so much Ireland over-valued, as the UK under-valued.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,119 ✭✭✭Wagon


    I live in de England. Cost of living in a lot less. Despite the lower wages, you can make the money go further than at home if you're careful, so technically you end up with a little more.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 4,236 ✭✭✭Panrich


    The most noticeable thing in those stats is that the higher up the payscale you go, the bigger the differences. We are too accepting of inequality in this country.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,327 ✭✭✭Sykk


    Thats because the price of living in NI isn't a complete joke.
