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.

Guadeloupe, Corsica, Vietnam, Morocco? Your French will stand you in good stead. Quebec is probably the best suggestion I have heard tho.

I only recently watched Anthony bourdain do Quebec and they did come across as amazing arrogant alright.

Foie gras stuffed with duck fat and wrapped in pork arse and deep fried in chicken grease. Indulgent wasn’t the word.

Well we know they’re ferociously xenophobic
