Exporting our own: Survey shows 70% of 18-24 age Irish people are considering leaving Ireland due to outrageous prices




We live in a lovely country, one that’s admired around the world – however, there’s a few major problems and one of them is the halfwit government who can’t get a hold of the out-of-control cost of living.

A new survey has revealed that 7 out of 10 people in the 18-24 age range are considering leaving Ireland due to rip-off costs here.

The survey, carried out by the National Youth Council, revealed that the rising cost of living, the virtual impossibility to buy a house, and the shortage of renting accommodation are pushing young people to seriously consider emigration.

Much better facilities, public transport, less inept governments, and generally more favourable living conditions elsewhere also play a factor.
