      We have aid and we took in a huge amount of them and fast tracked them through our asylum seeking process and provided a very decent living. So decent that the Ukrainian woman who heads up the displaced people’s in Ireland group said it was too high.

      Sorry about our GDP, America would never ever do things to better themselves economically and only consider themselves important…like “America First”

        Ireland’s a great country. The tax haven status that makes that GDP possible isn’t something to be proud of, but I can think of worse countries North America’s tax dollars can be going to.

        GDP does not correlate to quality of living. It’s high because you’re a tax haven.

            I bought a house with government supports and programs for first time buyer.

            There is a housing crisis as is the case across a lot of the west.
