Ireland ranked as one of the top ten countries in the “Better Life Index”

wtf.If it’s a better life do you any idea why so many people are leaving for other lands and an explanation about the high suicide rate?

We willy Hamilton who sold his soul and birthright to the English oppressor dares to vilify an independent Ireland who9unlike the scots) refused to buckle under the British yoke. What a sad man he is,sullied and beaten

This is obviously a mix up with the small, wet, depressing, corruptly run country of the same name just west of the UK where child rape is the favourite sport of catholic priests and government politics is just a pigsty for the winners of a lying contest (know as an election in other parts of the world).

As usual Australia heads the list and melbourne is the most "liveable"city in the world.

Hard to see that Ireland made it to the 10th spot. Yes the economy is improving, but it is still a basket case, the country is suffering the worst brain drain in three decades, people are leaving the island in droves. The Irish also don't seem to be particularly happy or very optimistic about their immediate future. I can think of at least ten countries who are ranked behind Ireland but that are better off in every respect.

Please, keep that quuiet. Do you want another million foreign migrants to hit the trail for Ireland?
