Hi ..
I have been living in another EU country for 8 years and moved back to Ireland about one year ago.
Bloody hell this country is a mess. The roads are This post will be deleted if not edited to remove bad language, the health service is a disgrace, the culture has become greedy and my god the corruption! Between all the tribunals, that child porn judge getting "let off" (and now Sharon Shannon with a one day late summons!).
The drink culture, the house prices (and the lack of quality in the houses), the zero child care support, the zero paid paternity/maternity leave, the religious institutional abuse, the rich getting richer and poor getting poorer, the lack of public transport, the traffic and reliance on cars, the road accidents, the on-going problems in Northern Ireland, the crime lords, the street violence, the apathy in society with their political leaders, the lack of community spirit and the cost of living.
I still havent covered the bitching that goes on at work, the bullying and racism...
Every country has its postive and negatives and for the life of me I cannot think of any postive points with Ireland. You hear people say "Ahhh 'tis a great place to bring up Kids".. errr... Why? The schools are falling to peaces our children are being taught how to forgo spritual values for materialistic values (communion money anyone?), our schools are still run in a Catholic manner where if you are a Muslim , Jew or God forgive us a Protestant you are treated as an outsider (because you are in fact an outsider in the Republic of Ireland unless you are a white Roman Catholic.)
Oh and not forgetting the title giving to this land.. Rip Off Ireland ..
Anyway I can hear the Irish patriots now saying .."Why don't you just leave then?" .. Well that will most likely happen .. which is a real shame ... It really is..
