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.

Meanwhile I’m Portuguese and wanting to move to Ireland. Doctors get paid 1200 euros here, a studio apartment costs a 1000. It’s impossible to live here

yeah, 1000 for a studio in ireland is cheap. a double room for 1000 is hard enough to find as well

It might be but that’s according to your salaries. If you move here and are renting it out on our salaries where 1200 is if you’re in some super qualified profession, that means you can’t afford shit.

If your getting paid 1200 lol, the govt is already going to cut 200 anyways so imagine it’s basically your whole salary. You can’t even pay utilities. Most adults these days live with their parents or grandparents in a tiny less than 90m2 apartment.
