Iāve been saying it for years! Scandinavian tax levels without Scandinavian level services!

There was a report done recently where when it comes to expendable income, Ireland ranks at the same level as Poland and Romania. We are not a rich country. It's a facade.

This video hits the nail on the head, right at the core of one of the main things wrong with this country. Great video š

After spending 10 years living in Germany and recently returning to Ireland, it is difficult not to be camparing, but I do. Germany tax system and amazing value for money, in relation to childcare costs, education, services and infrastructure compared to the opposite situation here. As a consequence to that, no one is actually LIVING in ireland. Everyone is just surviving, and with added pressures of imagination taking up services, and housing, it is only going to get worse. I'm already planning moving again, because this country, apart from horrible weather and poor value for money, and the nanny state that it is, I want to live.
Brilliant video and so well explained š š

Not Irish, never been to Ireland, but I see these same issues extending to many other countries too. Hereās my token of support, I hope this video reaches as many as possible!

It's jobs for the boys. All of these roles are way higher than the average wage because it's selective uplifting. It won't ever change because that's how little islands work unfortunately especially one as estranged from the average person.

Everyday I learn the finances of my country are even stranger than I thought

As a foreigner living in Ireland, I can see that people mostly blame it to housing crisis but don't see the big picture. Unfortunately, it feels the Irish have some sort of fear to challenge the status quo. Why is there such a big housing crisis and nobody is protesting in the streets? Anyway, I truly appreciate how I've been treated here. I hope you get a president look we did (Milei) to start cutting these kind of stuff.

Really nice to see a channel like this, the UK and US have plenty of channels that outline issues like this, it really helps to put abstract, nuanced problems that really drive the biggest issues in this country into easy to digest forms for the average person.

I work in health care here. We have a 24/7/365 service which is extremely disruptive to our lives and we are permanently under staffed, working hard every single day. We can take or leave our jobs. There are loads to move on to. From what I hear working beyond o to 5 is OPTIONAL in the private sector! We have nothing left to give. So I pity the government there on that one. How can they work us harder? They can only cut pay...but roles are already empty with no interest in them so that might not be such a good idea.

This has quickly become one of my favourite channels. You have been dishing out very tough yet fair critiques of Ireland

Uncontroversially brilliant. Fair play. Keepem coming!

If you did a video on the UK, you'd see exactly the same situation. There are no end of pointless NGOs and other bodies. In the area I live, we have an "Arts" organisation who's focus is painting murals and sticking up statues for no apparent reason.... meanwhile we have people sleeping in the doorway of the local Police station.... The fact they can find hundreds of thousands of Pounds for random pieces of Art but can't house the rough sleepers is typical of the problem both our countries face.

Very well put. Big government for a small nation simply doesn't make sense.

Yes there is incompetence in the Irish government and quangos, however i question the solution put forward in this video, which to a large degree is simply privatisation.
This is making the assumption first off that the private sector is competent which is doubtfully, but more worryingly there is a naĆÆve belief that the free market would leads to optimal resource use. It needs to be made clear that the sole motive of the private sector is shareholder profit, and that does not translate to an equal distribution of wealth.
Last part about investments in trains and medical equipment rather than motorways is brilliant !

I couldn't agree with you more.
But there is a reason why these departments are run in this way. Getting a job in a semi-state or state agency is literally the only way you can get a secure job with good working conditions in Ireland. So you have agencies full of people who are dedicated to protecting and enhancing a very rare commodity; pensions, flexible hours, voluntary overtime, the right to join a union and a less oppressive management environment.
I would suggest that we're looking at this wrong. If we want to engender a better and more dynamic public sector we could start with having a standard pension system across all work places so as people can move in and out of the public sector more easily without the fear of losing this benefit. We could make union membership a right in all work places and we could provide more funding to the private sector to train better management; less obsessed with the short term bottom line, more interested in building a sustainable dynamic workplace.
My point is that it's not a simple as closing down a load of agencies. This won't stop other agencies and their budgets ballooning afterwards to fill in the gaps. There needs to be more convergence between the public and private sector job markets. To do this we need a change of work culture.

Always felt we had a bloated and inefficient public sector. The problem is they are so bloated they represent a huge proportion of voters and hence the Goverment bending over for them. I get nothing for the 14% VAT in the hospitality sector and my previous work in construction before that wasnāt viable at all with inflation and interest rates. Itās like you get punished here for entrepreneurship, you work so hard and have to figure out your own pension while incapable people you know rise through the public sector and couldnāt have it handier.

HSE employ agency staff at exorbitant costs. Those agency staff sometimes also work for the HSE. Double jobbing. thereās staff shortages because the Agencies take the staff and syphon our taxes. Poor work and No oversight on the work and more profitable to remain in crisis after crisis. Itās sick. Incompetent treacherous failure. All for managerial snobs to have nice houses and drive their range rovers around a declining city.

I love these videos. So good to have a creator like this, producing informative videos about the country I live in.
