STRANGER 948 Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 When I was over in Ireland over xmas I was amazed at the amount of houses that were nearly complete, but were abandoned Looked as though the money had simply ran out, and the builders downed tools and left. Also large scale property developments on the outskirts of Dublin that looked abandoned. Surely a sign of the times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

neil cooney 10,416 Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 It's true, Eire's f****d. Ten years ago I could buy a bottle of potteen for 10 quid and after half of it I'd sleep for 2 days. NOW, the same sized bottle (although not of the same man , he gave up making it) will cost me 12 euro and I could drink it in an afternoon. RIP OFF IRELAND. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jigsaw 11,875 Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 thats white lemonade neil,lol...if you drank a bottle of potteen in an afternoon youd be hiding in a corner of the room fighting away the demons,lol.it might explain the off the wall remarks from you in the last few years though I can sort you with some liquid explosives if your stuck,best quality mountain dew there is, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As Jig said,the rest of the country won't reap or get a small share of the rewards. it will, money follows money. it will take a bit longer to spread out, but it will spread, you can be sure of that. it's just the first step in getting people investing heavily in the country again.

Its_grim_up_norf 577 Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 i would love to move there...in theory. However my missis worked at the hospital for years as a radiographer and a lot of the nurses there had done their training in ireland and then moved over here for work as there just wasnt the jobs over there for them. Plus the living costs etc. they didnt speak very highly of living there in general. A lot of students coming through were irish too, none of them northern, So i was told a swift 'No' when i suggested it. I hope it picks up and goes back to how some lads on this thread have said it used to be because its a beautiful country, and i hope to live their one day. Just when its turned itself around. Hopefully wont be long before the place is united, one country and tells Europe to f**k off. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
