- In 2020, 56,500 Irish people left Ireland in search of something better abroad. Over half of them were between the ages of 25 and 44, and nearly sixteen thousand of them were teenagers and young adults aged 24 and under. But why are Irish people still leaving Ireland? Why am I leaving Ireland?
It’s a good question, and the answer is multifaceted. The most prominent factor can be found in the living situation, where a housing crisis leaves rent prices at unattainable levels and mortgages nothing but a pipe dream for young professionals.
If you are living in Ireland, moving to Ireland or just interested about life in Dublin or life in Ireland - this is a video for you!
Have a nice day everyone and see you next week! We hope you enjoy watching this one as much as we did making it!
Cheers! 🍺

I’m so glad that you guys are not actually leaving Ireland! 😄
Because your channel is my “go to” for almost every info that I’ll need before moving.
When I started following the two of you, your videos became easily one of my favorite.
I know that there is a housing crises, but that problem is present in almost every European country..
So I still can’t wait to move to Ireland next year and potentially meet you as well!
Have fun in Croatia, India and Vietnam! 😄
Thanks for this, it’s always nice to read comment like this!
I hope your move goes exactly you want it to go, fingers crossed! 🤞🤞🤞
@@Corrky
Thanks!
I hope as well and thanks for the useful content!
Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Hvala! I sretan vi put! Nadam se da bit će odličan!
Scared me to think Corrky was actually leaving. Glad to hear you guys are still in the country and have fun on your trips!
You guys are great! I love learning about Ireland from you.
Thanks :)
Looking forward to coming travel episodes. Cheers.
Over the last 50 years the Irish economy seems to have grown at an incredible rate, mainly due to the likes of the IDA selling the country short to get foreign investment.
There's not been one government in that time that has taken a proactive view on policy that would insure a better future. Every government has adopted a lets see where we end up view.
That's why there's a housing crisis, a health care crisis, a homeless crisis, and elderly care crisis, a refugee crisis, a cost of living crisis.
What coming next is a is an emigration crisis, where people will start leaving the country on mass because they're sick of living in a country in constant crisis!
Hello kdmc40, i live in Belguim. Strange thing is country's don not know the problem of each other. I can tell you, in Belguim we have the same problems. A small house in the street costs over here 350k euro. Min money you earn here is 1800euro. Big city's have masses of homeless people. That live outside in winter! There is no more room for emigrants ho left there country. They live in small Decathlon tents in the streets of Brussels!!! Elderly people can not afford oldmenhomes anymore. It costs 2250 euro a month. And it is in no luxerly that they live, no extra's. And our social healthcare is under a lot of tension. And maybe will break. Hospitals are goiing in debt. Also not finding personel. So not good for the moment. Goiing to the dokter for the moment is cheap, 2€. But i pay every month a piece of my salary to the gouverment to support the social healthcare. 56% of our income goes to taxes! If we buy something in the store we pay 20%taxes on it. I'm thinking of moving to Ireland. For the nature, pubs, friendly people, living on a island. Here people work a lot. Go home and stay home. Pubs became bistro's. Belguim is 32.000km2 And there 11milj people. Ireland is 60.000km2 and you are with about 6mlj. We do not have a lot of nature left. Climatechange, i think the nortern country will be very better of. Over here summers are getting very hot!! So you see kdmc40 everywhere there is something.
@@fishermanstales8946 You are right, there are problems everywhere. I live part of my time in southern England, although its not as bad as Ireland, there are problems. The USA is the same I lived in California as a student in the late 90's. Over the years I've seen a serious decline in living standards and there is a serious homeless problem. I think the whole world has serious problems.
@@kdmc40 Correct, i think we are about the same age i guess. I am in my fourty's. So we are seeying how much everything is changed in the years. We see the decline in housing , amount of purchess for money ... . Also our identety. Who we are as a people, what it means to be a Belgium in my case, traditions. That is what we struggle with. We hold on to. What we know. I see in my childeren something different. The multiculturalisme is normal for them. They dont worry about that. That gives me hope! Our generation still lives in how it was. We mal manage everyting at the moment because we do not know the solution. They live in the now. I still struggle with it but then i look how they live in the world and find solutions. I see hope!
You scared me, man haha. I thought you were truly leaving and I was like HELL NO!. My dream is to be able to move to Ireland and until that dream materializes, I will keep watching your videos and manifest! Uffffffffffff.
Hopefully you make it happen sooner than later!
Lorraine you look so cute in this video. Your space buns 😍 I think our fashion certainly could be better. A tracksuit (when not in the gym) and a football jersey doesn't scream style to me. But I guess each to their own. The housing crisis is so so so so bad and i can't see it getting any better any time soon. Jakov, have a deadly time back home and enjoy the sunshine 😊
We all just need to wear floor length raincoats that are transparent Missi. 😅 problem solved!! And sure we can show off our beautiful bodies all year long 😅😅
Also, I’m considering setting up a trailer park for the good of the nation. Only people with good craic and a practical fashion sense are allowed in. 😅❤
@curlyginger215 hahahhaa! I think i would scar people for life if i wore that type of raincoat 😆😆😆 I bagsy being first in your caravan park, i promise to keep the football jersey and fake tan at home 😆
🫢🙈😂😂😂 Ara Shtop!!!! ❤️ Missi you will be the first woman in the park, no questions asked. And You can bring the Irish ☘️ starter pack with you if it made you feel comfortable.. Irish starter packs contain the following.. Fake tan in extra dark,A jersey, tea bags, pack of cigarettes, a good trad playlist and a thousand old receipts 🧾😅
I started to plan to move to Ireland after I realised moving to the UK is not an option for me anymore. The new announcement about increasing the visa and NHS fees (+50% for 5 years) drove me to rethink this plan. This revelation guided me to your channel and I'm glad I found you guys! I hope I can move to there in a year and we can have a beer once. Cheers from Hungary!
If you come to Galway just let us know, I never refuse a beer :)
I LOVE your struggle with the language! It is so you and reminds me of your Croatian background
Always been a history of young people leaving Scotland as well especially from the highlands and northern parts like myself.
Peace ☮️ ✌️, so true, more than enough meanies,
How can ANYONE not love ❤️ Ireland 🇮🇪
I can’t wait to go back
Wow, you guys are great! Love Ireland 💗
Thank you! :)
I need some Irish friends. God I love Ireland❤️. I am coming to Ireland soon. 🙃
2 main reasons why Govt will not deal with the housing situation ..
Personal wealth is mostly tied up in property and most people who vote are home owners and if house prices drop, and so also their perceived wealth, they will lose votes
Also it presents a significant barrier to mass migration, without being able to accuse policy makers of creating barriers to migration, it's quite a cynical tactic.
Never thought of it that way...
Omg the title almost got me depresed until 10:09 😂 😂. Enjoy your holidays
😂😂😂
i think just to walk free in the streets and walkways without being mugged or killed is a BIG plus for Ireland
i gotta say, Corky, you are the MAN, but, Lorraine, I love your spunky, upbeat attitude! You rock!
Great video guys! How do you manage to organise those few months off regarding of your job? Im asking just because I have the same mindset, like I feel those few weeks of vacation is just not enough for all those things I would love to do... :)
Regarding money - I save the rest of the year to have enough for those 3 months.
Regarding job - In my experience if you are good at what you do and if you are a good worker they will 9 out of 10 times tell you your job will be waiting for you when you come back. That is what I am doing this year too, my position will be waiting for me when I come back.
Just a wee reference regarding Irish food. It had been 6 years since my son and I had been able to visit my parents there. We're just back. We spent most of our in Termonfeckin/ Clogherhead. One night we brought my parents to a wee pub (Smugglers rest Clogherhead ). We had the best mussels we've ever tasted (we live in France /Spain and expect good sea food). The Irish food was incredible (and I've a freezer full of it now). Here the Chuleton is incredible but hey, the Irish sirloin steak was just as good. So Irish food being bad is a thing from years ago. I was amazed by how beautiful it is now. Don't need 4 stars from Michlen to serve great food eh😂
100% agree with you!
90% of Irish Lobster and crab is exported to France and Spain.
I did not know that!
Corrky you are definitely my type of Guy.
I totally agree with you.
To work just for 1 month off is crazy. 3 to 4 months off ....sounds brilliant
Makes much more sense to me :)
@@Corrkymore drone footage and photography please!!!!
@@CorrkyI know who that girl is that you mentioned. I watched her channel. She likes her body 😅
New drone arrived to my house in Croatia 2 days ago and is waiting for me there. You can expect much more drone footage soon :)
@@Corrky great very much looking forward to it...
have a great time in Croatia 😊
Thank you! 😃
They could easily solve some of the housing crisis with a few mobile home parks. 100 or so mobile homes in each one it wouldn't take too many acres and it's cheap. Put like 4 or 5 parks outside Dublin like out of town they would just have to drive a little.
I am extremely excited to go to Ireland this September with my family. As I was researching places to visit for the trip, I started to feel that I just want to move there permanently 😂
The best thing about Ireland is we do not have Mosquitoes
Or cockroaches.
I really admire your command of the English language. Forget the haters. I am an Irishman, and I can speak English and bad language does this make me by lingual.
Visit the Manila, Philippines. We are planning to migrate in Ireland by first quarter of 2024.
yes visit the philippines from vietnam ... you will also hear lots of music, see beautiful beaches and meet friendly and warm Filipinos
hey cool video. First watch of your channel. Good luck with your travels. Corrky would you consider learning the irish language? would make for great content....
I am really honestly too lazy for that so I have to say no. Sorry.
Irish people have a great tradition of leaving Ireland and the rest of the world is all the richer for it
Sure only the best will stay and keep her lit. 😉
Dude I am sitting in Vietnam trying to work out how to move back to Ireland, with Galway specifically being my dream destination. I've been out here for years thought, hit me up if you need advice on your trip!
I will definitely keep you in mind, I am very much looking forward to filming that trip!
I will move to Ireland eventually, but the cost of school and the housing crisis has definitely delayed my plan. It's expensive enough to get a degree here in the USA. I'm going to Germany after this to get my next degree, then hope to either get a job in Ireland or get a job in Germany with a company that will let me do a work transfer later to Ireland. I so wish I could just go straight to Ireland, but it just isn't feasible to do that.
That honestly sound like a really good plan. Hope everything goes as you wish! Fingers crossed! 🤞
Housing is considerably cheaper west of the Shannon. Not sure housing in Germany will be any cheaper Berlin etc. Supply and demand, basic capitalism as any American knows.
@@Corrky thank you! I can use all the well wishes and luck I can get!
@@jerrybarnes6611 Kiel, Germany is where I would be going for the degree I want. Rents range from 600-750 euro for basic pet friendly housing. Cork is where I would want to be in Ireland. Or Dublin for another university. I have 2 cats who will be coming with me and there really aren't a lot of options for pet friendly housing that I'm seeing in Ireland. Very very few advertise as being pet friendly and the prices seem to range from 950-1300 euro. So Germany is absolutely cheaper, and seems to have more pet friendly landlords as well.
I've heard stories of students (admittedly in Dublin) who had to drop out of school and move back to their home country because they couldn't find a place to live, and that was without the extra complication of having pets.
Better off with a trade. Trust me. Can't get tradesmen. Plumbers are paid more than engineers here in many places, too many people with degrees and two left hands. If you wanna make big money
Enjoy your trip home and your joint Asian travels.
I know the channel which mentioned the "clothes problem...😂" heard that and laughed hard 🫢 never heard something more absurd than that😅
I’m glad I’m not the only one who found that funny :)
I love you two. My mum and family from Northern Ireland and a lot of family there. I'd like to move from USA
You said …No caravan parks in Ireland ?.. jeeze you should’ve been in Tallaght in the 1980s.. half of it was a nacker camp…
It's housing, the Government's attitude to property is rooted in the stone age
I'm a 65-year-old single dad from the Philippines 🇵🇭 and honestly I want to migrate and settle down in Ireland 🇮🇪 for good, with my two younger kids, aged 12 and 14.
If you can support yourself and your family then by all means come over.
I've lived in Ireland for 19 years and absolutely hate it. I need to escape to America but it seems near impossible.
Hello Corrky and loraine, you're lovely people. Been working for 25y, never sick. I am almost 50. Have some money saved have my own house. Been to Ireland for vacations 6 times. Everytime different county's. Different seasons. So i like county Cork to Kerry. And county Leitrim. To Leitrim i go almost every year, to go fishing on pike. Thinking of moving to Ireland for some time now. Would like to open a vacationhouse for travelers/felow fishermen. What would be the tricky parts to start this idee up? What must i watch out for? What is you're advice?
Hi and sorry for late reply. It’s a lot of comments so some slip away sometimes.
That being said I honestly don’t have a clue about starting a business here so I don’t really know what to say or how to help. Sorry and I hope you make the move!
Hi I'm new to your channel. My wife and I are moving to Ireland in 2 weeks time. We are struggling to figure out which bank is the best to go with. Can i have your input on which bank is best? Thanks for the content.
Hi! To be honest when I first moved here I opened an account in KBC just because they only required my passport for it and nothing else. They don't exist anymore tho.
I am only using Revolut for 3 years now already, I just prefer it to any other conventional bank but that's just me. I know that wouldn't work for everyone. In any case I would recommend opening Revolut account first just because it is very easy and fast. It takes time opening one in AIB or Bank of Ireland and they will ask you for a lot of paperwork (PPS, proof of work, proof of address).
@@Corrky that's so helpful. Thanks very much.
The Saw Doctors, you’d know that Lorraine hails from Galway! They always used to play in my home town (Castlebar) on New Year’s Eve, but alas I was usually working then. Hope that the gig was good!
People leave Ireland because the government is stone useless, the cost of living is too high and nothing ever changes in that regard. Sad as it’s a beautiful country in many ways.
When you live in Ireland you have to live with is the rain and weather
Wanderlust is definitely part of it but from what I've seen it's a combination of a few things. Aside from the usual 🏠 crisis etc it comes down to money. Especially if your a STEM graduate the pay here is bad relative to cost of living etc, if a young lad goes to work in Australia or Continental Europe or USA or even Canada relative to cost of living and taxes the jobs just pay far better. There's also the added aspect that STEM jobs that end up in Ireland are usually the crap side of those industries (Process control for production lines etc), they are generally uninteresting products. The other thing many don't mention is the generally negative atmosphere that is encouraged by the Government and the wider culture. The other thing I would say is that many leave due to personal ambition, belief that Ireland is uniquely shite, no real connection or feeling of belonging to Ireland - aka Americanized Irish or East Yanks.
Get your facts right - people leaving Canada in droves. You think there is a bad housing crisis in Ireland - welcome to NY or San Francisco. Take your shite job, leave in beautiful Roscommon and quite whining.
Where in Ireland do you live ?Clare
I saw Clare listed at the thank you at the end of your video.
Clare is one of our Patreons.
We live in Galway.
@@Corrky Thanks for replying.
Galway looks like a really nice town.
Cheers👍
Is it easy to eat e. g. lunch without pork in big cities like Cork or Dublin? I am not vegan, but pork is not my cup of tea.
Very easy. Beef is much more common in my experience.
We are big beef, lamb and chicken🥩 eaters here. 😉 you can find a restaurant that has everything. ☺️
@@curlyginger215 thank you so much for your answer.
@@Corrky I am very happy because of hearing it. I appreciate. Thank you ♥
Yeah really - what a problem to have.
Woudl it be accepted to drink non-alcoholic Guinness in Pub communities or I be beyond of them?
Never tried that and I never saw anyone try but I think it would, I don't see why that would be a problem.
No dear it would not - there is an on the spot 5 Euro fine and you are sent to jail for 6 months.
@@jerrybarnes6611 I hope that Irish jails than average Polish apartments.

Thank you very much, I really look forward to India! :)
I actually get about the clothes. I don't drive so have to take a coat everywhere. As I live in the south west and its always raining . Live in tracksuits. By the way I'm 64 not 25
You literally terrified me damnit! 😭😭
Sorry, I honestly didn’t think the title will work that well!

Are you planning to visit Mumbai?
Yes but I only have 1 day there when I arrive.
You guys are super cute.
Corrky I actually find Ireland in general an unhealthy culture. It's very senditrary. I don't like sitting around. If you don't like Gaelic sports you can feel left out. I think you need to find your own interests if you're not like everyone else.
I'm leaving due to being a survivor of the abusive children's homes
Ben Field is on the loose... The Sixth Commandment.
She went back to Moldova and she blamed Ireland for getting fat ...she also went to Belfast on a day trip and called her video a day trip to the UK 😢 ,she's no loss but you will be .
Come to the Philippines and watch your subscribers blow up 😂😅
I'm hoping India and Vietnam will help with that too :)
@@Corrky people in the PH has this crazy fascination of foreigners loving their experience in the country. It's the go to move for a lot of aspiring content creators to get followers (it has become a meme somehow) ..
Anyways, enjoy your trip in south Asia.
And thanks for your honest Ireland vlogs ☺️
@@CorrkyThailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore all good
Rubbish food that’s for sure that’s very true and all negatives I agree and there is even more . 😂
So glad to see you will continue to blog and that you will be coming back to Ireland. If this is your first time to India it will be an eye opener for you both. I'm so tired of the current generation of snowflakes - Irish and non Irish - complaining and moaning . With (well most of the Irish!) their white skins, multiple degrees and passport that will allow them to go practically anywhere they feel so entitled. - like your friend who can't wear nice cloths or complains about your English (ask how good her Croatian is) - jeez luise, give us a break. Ireland is not the only country suffering from these problems. The country is better off without them. On the other hand many young people do go abroad to spread their wings for a few years or improve their work experience or education and then return. Many when they see that the grass is not always greener on the other side.I can't wait to hear your reports from India - they'll be a hoot for sure! Go n-eari an bothair libh!
The Irish housing crisis comes as a surprise....not long ago they had a glut of unsold homes and collapse of market ?
Mind the door on your way out !
The reason people are leaving Ireland is because none of them have experienced the joy of Northern Ireland. I've invited you to come and visit me several times but no response. You've just missed our bonfire season but the marchers are still, well, marching on. NI is the pacemaker for the remainder of our island but we are not appreciated.
We definitely will but it is just a matter of finances. We do appreciate the offer and you will be the first one to know when we decide to come, promise!
Jaysus - you MUST be joking!
I AM SORRY YOU ARE NOT LEAVING IRELAND FOR EVER 😩
Your girlfriend needs braces.
I do not understand. You work fall, winter and spring and then before every summer you quit your job to travel, and when you come back you are looking for a new job or kako???
Most of the times I go to job I left but yes, that is what I do.
4 out of 5 times they told me I can come back when I’m back.
@@Corrky To sam I mislio a super ti je ideja tjera na razmisljanje. Extra idea, maybe I'll do something like that
