STOP Moaning, Ireland Is Fine! | The Millennial Cynic

Today I take a look at the apologists and gaslighters who believe Ireland is fine the way it is or can't see the issues that the rest of us can. I take a look at the types who defend Leo Varadkar, Micheál Martin and the rest of the coalition and try to figure out why they do so. Those who point out Ireland's problems and issues are often told to stop moaning, but why? Especially when the evidence is all around us that Ireland is in a bad way?

I live in the Czech Rep where the health care is basically free and is 100 times better than in Ireland! There is almost no serious crime here - the Police spend most of the time handing out parking tickets! There is an extensive and regular public transport system that is nearly always on time! There are dozens of services and facilities for all citizens - from kids to grandparents - undamaged and clean! (Although graffiti does seem to be on the rise) Seeing what has happened to Ireland since I left 15 years ago - I would never return - those who think Ireland is the best place to live really need to get out more!

As someone who fell through the cracks and was very nearly homeless with my family (3 kids) during 2020 I couldn't figure out why absolutely nobody cared about what was happening to us, housing charities were like ''meh''', govt ministers were like ''yeah I'll look into it'' followed by them ghosting us, and civil servants in the county councils were like ''yeah nah can't really do much there unless you're actually homeless pal'' I honestly think you would get fairer treatment in a 2nd or 3rd world country at this point, Ireland has become irrevocably hostile towards its own population (much like quite a few other euro countries have over the last few years) and none of that is by accident. When you realise none of this stuff is by accident then it all clicks into place, and it is very much helped along by 3 particular things in this country 1) Politicians get their wage regardless, they merely go through the motions and only act when there is good optics and political gain for themselves 2) Civil Servants get their wage regardless also, they need only do the absolute minimum to keep their jobs and so they are happy to run members of the public around in circles until those people go away, a huge amount of things that should get resolved end up being fed into a beurocratic circle with no exit 3) Insurance companies hold everyone in between hostage, nothing can be done in the public interest without insurance and those campanies can just torpedo community initiatives like nothing else, including housing initiatives The result of this is a completely detached and inhuman society, and that's not even mentioning the people above the government like the WHO and WEF who pull the real strings of power

I am nothing but a visitor to Ireland, though a frequent one. I love the country, the landscapes, the people. But looking at the actual political situation, I can hardly believe that this is the same country as the one I visited for the first time some 40 years ago. Not that there was no scope for improvement. But in spite of all the money raining on the place, things seem to have gotten worse. I think many Irish people see this, but most, like my friends, are afraid of the country getting even deeper into an unpredictable chaos if they voted for anyone else but the parties that have been in power and successfully destroyed the country in the last decades.

Implementing short term solutions and then ignoring the bigger problems that arise from this seems to be the approach of this government. Varadkar said the refugees are "plugging gaps" in sectors where there is a shortage of workers like hospitality. The Irish govt was warned that if the housing crisis was left unresolved it would impact the economy. Young people can't afford to come to Ireland to work because of the housing crisis O'Gorman must have thought promoting a Free-housing-plus-Work-permit scheme would be an easy solution. Now Varadkar says Ireland is "very much at capacity", so in other words, Ireland is full. Varadkar said he "doesn't accept" that concerns raised earlier over impacts on schools, healthcare, and housing etc. were "swatted away" A Dept of Integration spokesperson refused to confirm the number of asylum seekers that have moved into apartments in a housing estate in Kenmare, they refused to confirm their gender or their country of origin. There are plans in Rosslare Harbour to turn a development that was initially intended as a new nursing home facility into more accommodation for international protection applicants

Excellent video and spot on ! I recently visited Sweden and I was amazed at how clean and modern it was. No litter on the streets, no homelessness, no drug addicted or organised beggers, excellent and seemless public transport and to top it all off, rents are cheaper in Stockholm than in Dublin, go figure. I am an Irish patriot, but I now detest what this country has become. Greed is viewed as virtuous, landlordism is now more rampant and dangerous than it ever was under the British and cronyism rules the political classes. So, I think that it's fine to complain and to highlight this kip for what it truly is. Keep up the good work Millennial Cynic, I support you 100%!

I’ve been coming home to Rural Ireland on visits to extended family for 21 years from Manchester U.K. where I live in a socially deprived area of Manchester and I’ve witnessed Ireland’s gradual and truly heartbreaking decline in the years I’ve been coming home, even before Covid and especially when passing through Dublin - at age 53 now, I don’t see myself moving back home to retire as I’d once hoped and both Covid and other issues since 2020 have accelerated this decline - I honestly and objectively, rationally don’t see a future for future generations of young Irish people, not even emigration will be an option in the post-Covid age - as an Irish patriot, I’ve always held and renewed an Irish passport in the time that I’ve lived here but on my last renewal, this process was made much more difficult by the Irish state, using Brexit as an excuse, just like they stopped Irish people from coming home from abroad during Covid - strange that despite holding an Irish passport, I lost Irish voting rights 5 years after living outside Ireland, but even on an Irish passport, I gained U.K. voting rights after only a year living in the U.K., where I voted in favour of Brexit (and Ireland should do the same) - as an Irish gay man and an Irish Patriot, I would have voted “no” in the LGBT Marraige “equality” referendum - contrary to “popular” opinion, we Irish diaspora abroad have (not) “abandoned” our country, our beloved homeland - and had we the chance to vote, we would have voted the traitors out of Dáil Éireann, this is why they are terrified of giving us diaspora the vote, as in the internet age we see what’s happening back home and we are disgusted and sickened by what’s happening to our country - we have valuable lived experience of living abroad, some of us in terrible circumstances

Well done on this. The surplus should be spent on permanently reducing the cost of housing through over-supply and energy grants schemes. We, the West, need to stop sacrificing future generations of literal people in the name of making property a wealth creation device. It should be sacrosanct as well as food, warmth and medicine; the essential components for life and should never be allowed to go out of reach due to the pursuit of supernormal profits for the already wealthy. People need to realise that the sort of profiteering we take for granted in the property sector is hardly more than a half century old. We need to RETURN to a world that isn’t obsessed with property wealth creation.

Most people know this and they are covering for their inaction. We are changing Ireland, but it is at a glacial pace. Look at how much the voting pattern has changed in the last 25 years. The silent majority is moving. It's just that the don't want others to know about it. I think at some point the dam will break. But I can't guess at what it will take to brake it.

I will be voting for the National Party. Sinn Féin are not the answer because by their own admission, Sinn Féin want to help people struggling to pay their mortgages whereas what we need is defaulters to be evicted so house prices can fall. Well, that and a massive tax on existing properties while exempting new builds to encourage new construction and the sale of existing houses to first time buyers who could and should also be exempted from the punitive property taxes which are required to return the national debt to pre rigged market conditions like 2009 when house prices were falling off a cliff. Shoring up property prices with 200 billion euro of borrowed money was a stupid idea. If politicians will not impose adequately punitive property tax on existing housing stock and their naughty occupiers, then our best hope is an economic implosion which will finish multinationals here and leave the government no choice but to tax existing housing stock and thereby correct their mistake. I wouldn`t waste another cent on the HSE. Flushing money down the toilet is at least an honest way of wasting it. All healthcare should be private. If something needs to be subsidised, it doesn`t make economic sense.

I believe that these two little vignettes sum it all up: 1) My friends emigrated for 2 years recently. They rented their house out. Put it up online, and took it down after 1 hour. There were 15 applicants (as in 15 groups vying for the house, couples, friends etc). 14 of these were foreign. Most were non-EU. Only *one* of these groups was Irish: a couple trying to start a life together. This is what they're up against. No wonder Caoimhe and Oisín stay at home with their folks, instead of competing for substandard accommodation with the world. 2) At the swish of a pen, other countries bring in positive laws which are pro-native while remaining not too drastic. For example: non-foreign ownership of land (or at minimum: reasonable restrictions), tax incentives for those who wish to start a family, managing to keep rent reasonably priced without making landlords withdraw from market., etc etc etc. What 'swishes of the pen' do we get? Amnesties for illegals, hate speech (thought crime) laws and life ruining lockdowns, and on and on and on. Point is: the Ireland you and I want is possible, but those holding power are happy to destroy it.

Guess what foreign nationals need to rent as well. People are conflating several different issues into one issue. Shortage of housing has nothing to do with the level of immigration. A poor health system has nothing to do with foreign nationals as the Irish government currents spends enough money to cover 3 times the current population.

The blind defenders who have 40 year old children still living at home. Varadkar actually made a statement that the youth of the country will be ok when their parents die and they inherit houses. An absolutely disgusting perspective. Several problems with his plan, animosity between generations, nobody starting families, the fact that not every boomer owns a house, the youth expected to emigrate or wait their entire lives for something to happen, the unfortunate fact that the only wealth in this country is locked away in property. What is the point in having no money in your pocket but your house is worth half a million? I am firmly of the opinion that all government is bought and paid for by international business. In power or opposition, the same snouts are in the trough, they are all friends. Irish politicians of the Haughey era were bought by Irish contributors which had a small trickle down effect, jobs and wealth was created in Ireland. Now our political classes are funded by globalists. This ensures all wealth created is exported to global entities. Zero accountability. My concern is what is coming down the road. There isn't a weekend goes by without a protest of some sort. I don't remember a time of such polarisation and division. When people have nothing, they have nothing to lose.

True. I just turned thirty-nine today and a few years ago I thought the North, and especially Belfast had made huge leaps forward. Now it's just depressing and seems hopeless.

Everything you say is correct. Unfortunately we live in a world without equal opportunity or outcomes (even amongst siblings such as IRL probate law). I suggest listening to the audiobook by Diana Beresford-kroeger 'To speak for the trees'. Then try to solve your own position first, in the good ways, then you can for sure help others. (E.g. affect futures and regime's ;)

Find it quite funny that the one commentor used "highest rate of third level education" in the world. When that's simply a result of our ridiculously low corporate tax which brought all the tech giants here not to mention over 50% of the companies who moved HQ due to brexit came here. Hardly a measure of the current governments work or lack therof. Check those stats again when the EU and the US force us to meet a minimum corporate tax. As the video is sort of a comment on the "casual" political space as a whole I think the biggest contributing factors to low quality/low resolution discussion is scope and tribalism. Saying "x" party good, "y" party bad and having a domestic in the comments section on facebook is equivocal to two football fans talking about their favourite teams and it's sort of emotional and pointless. As you've mentioned, a complete lack of critical thinking. It would be a lot more fruitful to talk about very specific issues, and the politicians approaches to them in as much specificity as possible. To remove the fog from the statistics. One example of this is that the current government at the end of 2023 will say in order to address the housing crisis we built "x" houses and plan to build "y" more houses in 2024. We the people then need to look more deeply into the statistics. We'll see things like entire housing estates being bought by a singular person(such as the case in Mayo). The banks hiking interests rates to curve inflation which reduces the borrowing power of the population which offsets the market. With that being said, rule number 1 of the internet is don't tell the internet what to do. They are more likely to do the opposite.

Pardon me but a huge surplus does not equate into better anything; the 1/2 Prime Minister Mr. Martin did give the contemporary Health Services effectively Billions and they all spent it on back wages and back bonuses for themselves and not on their patents.
