My name’s not Rick.
Childcare is definitely expensive there, but I don’t think that’s unique to Ireland. Sure as shit beats raising kids in the US considering they have universal healthcare, free preschool, paid maternity and paternity, and low violent crime rates. Cost of living and housing availability are definitely issues though.
I love it over there; I’d consider emigrating if they’d take me
That’s the gist of it. They’re very pro-business, and beyond that are pretty milquetoast. Typical catch all party that will chameleon into whatever is popular at the moment. That’s my take as an outsider, at least. I’m sure someone that lives in Ireland could speak with more authority on the matter.
I’d tell em to read about Finna Fail but I don’t want to disappoint them.
I’d love to as well, minus the weather. The number of Palestinian flags out and about literally all across the country when I was visiting last month was really heartening. Definitely a nation that knows what their soul is and is not complacent.
Sure is! Catherine has some big shoes to fill because “Miggeldy” is beloved. The fact that she can ball helps.
Hades 2 when I finally stumbled upon Dionysus. He’s wearing a leopard print speedo in it and his bulge is as subtle as a kick in the shin.
Ireland’s current president that she’s replacing is also fairly left wing. It’s a ceremonial position for the most part. The head of the Irish government is the Taoiseach which is essentially the PM. The president is just the head of state.
Not to my knowledge. Irish never stopped being the language of daily life in parts of west Ireland and as far as I know the resurgence of the language started in the 1800’s with the Gaelic League and the Society for the Preservation of the Irish Language. I wouldn’t be surprised if the latter did some work on codifying certain things into a conventional framework but I’m definitely over my skis at this point.
It’s Irish, they have their own language that the Brits tried to stomp out but thankfully is still here. Regardless, good luck on your new state
The president in Ireland is more of a head of state than a policy maker. The head of the government is the Taoiseach which is basically the PM.
