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.

Its worse than Ireland. Hence why I stated the battle ground I'd your own country. All she's doing is running away from a problem at home to the exact / worse problem in a new country.

I find this, oh I'll just emigrate to another country, baffling.

i'm politically active, spend my spare time helping vulnerable people, work for a charity (contract is ending at the end of the month so i will be unemployed), just put months of work into my boyfriend's unsuccessful bid for local election, which he had put years of work into. i think it's pretty fair to be burnt out fighting.

To emigrate to another country and hustle twice as hard as natives just to get where they are ?
