I'm looking to flee my country before it implodes. Many of my friends are fleeing too and they all have their own plans. For what it's worth, I'm gay, and I really doubt the Nazis will leave us alone this time.
I vacationed in Ireland briefly with an ex a year or two ago, but caught covid and spent most of the time resting. I didn't really learn anything about what life in Ireland is like. I'm reading that the people are social and friendly, the food isn't great (though I'm an american and I mostly eat trash anyway) and public transit isnt really great in southern ireland but totally doable in northern ireland.
I'm trying to figure out if I can make this work. I'll miss my sister and the nieces and nephews and a few friends. Material things I can always buy again someday. But it's no longer safe here. My country is dying. I need to make plans and my friends offer might be the best chance I get. I just know nothing about ireland.
I'm really hoping others in Ireland are more polite than you. You sound like what we Americans would call a "republican."
Southern Ireland is more republican; around Dublin is more bourgeois and anti-republican.
What skills do you bring? Do you have a degree? Do you have capital?
I'd be going to dublin. I do have a bachelors degree but it’s just in technical theatre so it's not all that useful. I've been working IT and in medical billing for the past several years. I'd be selling just about all my belongings here to build enough cash to get by there at first. Obviously I would need to get a job in Ireland before actually moving there.
Does Republican in Ireland carry the same meaning there as it does in the US? Because here it means “awful person.”
That's how orangemen think of it, I guess.
A few friends of mine explained the Irish version of Republican to me. VERY different from American republicans.
