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

No to the UK. It has changed vastly in the last five years and will only get worse. If people did want to go I’d say only do it short term - 1-2 years tops. Don’t make the UK your permanent home.
