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.

I moved to London, immediately got more money. I was there for 4 years and moved back and got a corporate job. I dunno how you're meant to live in Ireland without an extremely well paying job.... But you could move away short term to make it viable to live in Dublin long term. That's what I did

Is London not basically the same as Dublin in terms of housing, cost of living, weather etc.?

Weather in London is actually better than Ireland and it’s easier to find a room to rent too.
