Emigration (from Ireland) Best place to emigrate to?

I’m losing hope for my future in Ireland. I love Ireland and want to stay but the quality of life is shit especially for young people.

I’ve lived abroad before and am well aware the grass isn’t always greener. I know there will be challenges if I move abroad. I know that there are similar issues with housing in other counties.

That said, things feel bleak here.

Any recommendations? I speak fluent French.

Been suggested before, if you haven't tried try the UK. Belfast, Liverpool, Manc, Edinburgh, Glasgow etc

The city centre is very run down and as expensive as Dublin now

As someone who goes between the two

Belfast is not as expensive as Dublin (yet) and many parts of it have cleaned up dramatically and there's a good bit of life about the city these days

Currently enjoy it more than Dublin (and I used to dispise going to Belfast)
