Well if everything is perfect in your little world then it must be grand so, eh?

What about the jobs crisis in the country?

I take it doesn't affect you so why should you give a ****?

Im sick and tired of the 'Im alright Jack' attitude thats prevalent in the country.

Everything is not perfect in my own little world thank you very much. I have no job, have another year of college to go, probably won't get a full grant so I'm not sure how I'll pay my way through the year, there's a good chance my father will be laid off by christmas, my mother retired last year and the state decided she wouldn't be getting a pension so I don't want to rely on them for help, it's unlikely I'll get a loan. It's pretty grim for me at the moment, but you know what, I'll probably get through it and with a smile on my face too.

But hey I didn't think it was that kind of thread and then you go and act like it's a bad thing that I can still have a positive outlook on my life and my country even though I don't have two pennies to rub together, maybe it's because I know how lucky I am to live in such a beautiful country where our biggest problem is unemployment and not mass poverty or war. Just because I don't go around moaning about the recession and saying "oh isn't it awful the state we're in" doesn't somehow make me a bad person. MEH!

Less working hours.

Honestly think people would be happier if they weren't so strung out from working too much.

Very hard for someone working 50 hours a week to unwind.

Parking spaces!
decent parking spaces are so hard to find in ireland.
first of all the parking spaces we already have are to small.
and try finding decent parking spaces in the smaller towns.
then theres the big citys like dublin and galway where you have to pay high prices for crap parking spaces.
if i see an interesting place or shop or whatever about 50 % of the time i cant find a safe parking space so i just f%$k off, not getting my hard earned money.

The parking spaces are fine. Its the ones trying to park in them thats the problem.

a decent transport system, in england there are train stops in most rural villages, coaches are cheap there as well

Fratton Fred · 07-10-2013 09:10PM

Can you imagine the non existent planning laws combined with the beautiful beaches in this country and guaranteed hot weather?

Rosses point would be a ****ing concrete jungle.

If we had really hot weather, the place would be far less beautiful.

kasper · 07-10-2013 09:11PM

litter bins this country is a disgrace the amount of litter . and wardens to make sure they are used.

A Jazz music scene. The occasional expensive festival doesn't do it for me.

Actually, I'll extend that beyond Jazz: we're seriously lacking some really good virtuoso musicians who push the boundaries of music because they enjoy it - not for money or fame. For a start, stop trying to put an Irish spin on everything: it's limiting.

Tangatagamadda Chaddabinga Bonga Bungo · 07-10-2013 09:34PM

There's not enough car jackings imo, now South Africa, now that is a place where you can get car jacked easily and get your money and phone also stolen in the process, you even have a reasonably fair chance of being shot dead while being car jacked.

More car jackings please Ireland.

There's a massive Jazz scene in Cork my friend.

(for 3 days out of the year)

Read the posts. One thing we're not short of is a sense of humour.

How about a fully functioning banking system or a welfare system that doesn't reward people who didn't contribute here or a Seanad which works or proper enforcement of traffic laws. Wild wolves loose in our forests, friendly neighbours, efficient health service. The list is endless or pointless - take your pick.

I would love if Ireland was able to have an international, world class sporting event like a grand prix on a regular basis.

Also, continuing the sporting theme, there is a serious lack of world class infrastructure. We only got Olympic size swimming pools relatively recently. Would be cool to have a velodrome, or some such.

kasper · 07-10-2013 09:45PM

a bertie bowl

Brockway, Ogdenville and North Haverbrook have never been better
