you really don't want local government in such small country. that would just mean more politicians controlling your live an livin from taxpayer money + even more difficult to control expenses etc.

Shouldn’t it be cox-wain not cox-un

Surely higher car insurance, higher house prices and health insurance is because of a wealthier population?

It's even worse than what you've reported (overall)... However, after the local elections this past could of weeks, I don't see it changing.

I'm Irish but have lived on the continent for the last 12 years (mostly Sweden). The thing that drives me mad is the emphasis on houses and not appartments to solve the density problem. Developers happy to knock more woodland to build the identical 100 houses so people can have a garden they don't use. If you want to get young professionals out from their parents feet, allow them to buy small suitable cheaper appartments or else they just end up in a house share which could be used for family otherwise. I've slowly moved up to bigger/nicer appliances and will probably be considering a house next. The solution is not to build houses but to build suitable housing for people at all stages of life. I do agree with the sentiment of this video though. Dense, modern housing for young professionals wanting to get out from their parents easier as well as be suitable for those coming for work who don't need to house a family. Leave the houses to those that need them.

That image of the unbuilt Galway Bypass just sums up everything that's wrong with planning in Ireland. Over 20 years now since it was first proposed and is, as of yet, being held up by a very vocal minority. With so many quangos to appeal to it can be stalled indefinitely.

This is amazing content. A lot of candidates who ran and some of which who won in Drogheda, have a vision of making Drogheda a city. I'm from Drogheda and recently bought a house and it's technically in Meath. Drogheda is administered by both Louth and Meath county councils and it seems like Dundalk and Navan come first and Drogheda is an afterthought. We have serious issues with decay and dereliction in the town center, lack of parking, awful traffic, urban sprawl, lack of facilities (especially for young children), job creation, crime and antisocial behaviour, housing and homelessness, keeping the place clean and really being a commuter town to Dublin. I wonder what ideas you have that could improve life for the people of Drogheda. I love this town. Feel like it's got tonnes of potential to be infinitely better though.

No definition of rent control is actually proffered before telling us that economists, those great sages that consistently get stuff right, have pronounced it bad.

Ireland is a kip and going down the drain fast

One of very few channels where problem not only pointed out, but also a solution is proposed. Awesome job! Thank you!

The problem is that most people who work in the public sector would not last five minutes in the private sector.

Very interesting video - unfortunately nothing of the likes will ever be done as Irish politicians are too afraid of our permanent government (civil service!)

Ireland has applied the “fake it till you make it” strategy with the leprechaun economy. It contributed to the development of infrastructure but it didn’t contribute to the improvement of the quality of lives of the Irish overall, and as soon as the tax haven bait is gone, all those foreign multinational companies will be gone and Ireland will be left like a used condom.

Brilliant video!

Oh, and yes, this is some of the most in-depth, intelligent and insightful content on the brokenomics of this country. Brilliant.

Ireland simply does not have to try to provide anything or change anything - it is an English speaking country whose people can always emigrate to the Australias, Canadas and New Zealands of this world. Problem solved. Emigration is the permanent answer to all questions in Ireland. Why bother improving anything when you can just leave for sunnier shores elsewhere. Slán go foill.

Thank you, that's a really good video!

Luxury is an ideology in Ireland.

I see a lot of people on here are saying we shoudl stop immigration and stagnate population growth instead of just building more hosuing like a normal country. I guess r/ireland must have raided this.

Best Irish channel going!

If any of ye are ever feeling down about the state of the country. Go for a hike or a long walk. Genuinely cheered me up about where we live the other week doing the blue route in glendalough. Mind your heads lads and ladies

Oh honey, you need to learn to recognize economic propaganda. You start with PAUL KRUGMAN? He is bought and paid for. Do better.

So your solution is to cause unemployment and further demand on state services by cutting jobs in these organisations? It’s one thing to cut the “top brass”, but in reality it’s the average worker in these organisations/sectors which will face the axe even though they’re the ones who actually help these orgs run from day to day

Maybe another option would be start building offices not just in Dublin. But I'm guessing this housing shortage is all across the country. Government is busy protecting their woke ideology, rather than working on real problems

One of the main problems is housing here, idk how this is even possible but somehow there is absolutely no affordable living space anywhere near Dublin, and I’m very sure that some policy makers somewhere fucked this up royally

There's something a little disheartening about seeing such clear solutions, both to the structural problems in Ireland's political system and also the development visualisations in comparison to what is actually being built around Ireland (sprawling semi-detached housing estates that are 20-30 minutes walk from any local services), because of the low likelihood that things will move this better direction any time soon. As always, so much appreciation for the time you spend making high-quality videos like this about Irish topics.

I wish you all the best in realising this development. I find the proposal very attractive. It also provides the solution to an intense need for more housing. Naming the streets after trees anchors the necessity for greenery into the urban context. I would invite you to come to Munich, where you can see your visualisation in real life. Visit Neuhausen (my home), Lehel or Haidhausen to view exactly your vision. I have a theory that dwellinghouses and trees must coexist and relate to each other. The correct size for a house is the grown up size of a linden tree. This interaction is in my view one of the major reasons for Munich's immense attractiveness. In many surveys (e.g. Mercer's quality of living), we are well up the list of sought after places to live. You need to get your mayoral devolution model right - in Munich, the state still has too much say in strictly urban affairs (e.g. new tramlines).

Air bnb's are killing the wild alantic way for the locals

Great video

Spot on

Great video

One question. If we move to a decentralized system where there are locally elected mayors , sould there be one mayor per county. If you look at Cork, there could be multiple mayors in a single county for Cork City, Cork County, West Cork etc.

Keep up the good work. This information is crucial to get to all citizens of Ireland.

I may not agree with every thing I this video - but it’s point is very well made - we have an inability to hold our public officials to account. I like the “sunset” idea as now once some thing is funded it then a has a base expectation that it will only grow from there no matter what. We also have a problem with proper local government & how that is funded and what activities it is responsible for.

Unless you are going to mention that ireland gives away €90 MiLLION a week to random overseas people (only here because of Nato wars 10 years ago, displacing these people, free of charge, every single week. Ireland not in debt, it's in purgatory. Our country has been 3rd worlded by the EU. Another unelected stooge PM just been selected. Shops closing, every town is a ghost town. The rest of the population are wither on drugs, homeless, vaping, getting their eye lashes done, gambling, drinking, eating fast food while on their phones, taking steroids daily for narcassism. There are 100s of unvetted UN serbian soldiers packed into adventure centres and hotels. No women, no kids, just hardened evil looking men., Sorry for the harsh truth. Don't come to Ireland.

So informative! 2 issues 1. As your video is partisan. There was obviously a reason why they moved to centralisation therefore a look into why they was (and why it didn’t subsequently work) would have made your argument more robust. 2. Although it was a hypothetical scenario - it Would ne better to refer to the major as them rather than he. Amazing video though - thanks so much!

at least you have a gay PM, you always prided yourself with that. Also, Ireland doesn't look very irish either, alot of bearded and covered women. Hehe, socialism catches up to you, but keep doing that, we are watching the itish dumpster fire with glee

This strikes me as more small govt ideology than serious analysis.

This channel is excellent

The Irish wrestled control and ownership of the land from foreign land owners by boycotting them. So, an organized national rent strike would force REITs to cut their losses and sell. This selling of REIT properties would make housing very affordable, very fast. By forcing house prices down, rents will be forced down too. But if all the tenants in the country do organize and boycott rent payments, they will all be in a position to buy their own property outright within a few years because nobody buys property while prices are falling. In fact, falling house prices terrifies the government more than anything. It is the reason they make sure they never build enough social housing.

Have you considered Charleville,Celbridge,The area directly north of The Curragh racecourse,Leixlip Louisa Bridge (and maybe a couple metro lines underground too especially in Limerick as the employment areas are far away from the train station (Raheen and Castletroy))

Solution is the church, we need to play a more active role in them. The church ought to own more land

no way government wastes a shit ton of money on bureaucratic nonsense to employ ppl so they vote back in the same politicians?

Got a just eat ad before and after watching this video 😂

Voted for mayor today! I’m hopefully we get someone with vision who can make a strong impact.

This exploration and the roadmap it envisions gets so much right (as does this series which is distinguished by its constructive, intelligent approach which is not hobbled by its own cynicism). The absolute key point you have identified is that to overcome the charge of "parish pump" politics, a better calibre of candidate needs to be attracted through the creation of more autonomous offices with real power and funding. We certainly have the talent but currently we seem to attract the local auctioneers marooned by life and education who lack the perspective, vision and experience to execute any real change that doesn't involve road surfaces. Really great work.

The solution is to stop flooding the country with undocumented illegal spongers there are no houses for.

Great video, throughly thought out and researched. But one thing - the ding noise when text etc pops up on screen is very distracting and a little annoying! Doesn’t take away from it, but it is very irking

I want to donate without going through the option on UA-cam? Brilliant video, thanks.

This isn't just Ireland. This is everywhere. Cities are becoming international and huge companies like Google, Meta, international banking, etc move into these cities and pay huge salaries without considering the local economy in that country. Thus, native people can't afford to live and the duality of incomes is insane. It's the same in London, Ireland, US. It's the impact of a global economy and it's not good. Pair that with unprecedented levels of immigration to Europe and the US and it spells trouble.
