We're told Ireland is the second wealthiest country in Europe. 

But there's no way to buy a home or even rent one in a major city. The cost of living is sky rocketing. There's no Doctors accepting patients. There's no future for Irish graduates, so they leave en masse. The health system is staffed by foreigners bled from far-off places like the Philippines and India, and the health service is in perpetual collapse. 

Immigration is massive, crime is increasing, and tourism is collapsing. 

Irelands economy is predicated on foreign investment. We export drugs and tech made here by foreign companies to foreign markets. 

Ireland is a "rich country" on paper alone.
