Clearly they weren’t around in the 80s and 90s if they think the economy is worse now.
There was a sizeable chuck of parents who had a 3 bed semi in a decent suburb with one working parent
Stop the fecking pressed lads! Young people feel hard done by and think their parents had it easy! It’s a fecking exclusive!
It’s all about the macro metrics though. Quality of life for many has decreased due to massively inflated housing costs, lack of supply and poor quality.
That’s what people feel. The macroeconomic stats are rather abstract concepts to most
My sense of Ireland at the moment is booming multinationals, lots of employment but run down looking cities with relatively poor infrastructure around areas like public transport and an utterly crap and very dysfunctional healthcare system set against extremely overpriced housing.
The 80s were bleak, but one income could buy a home and start a family.
People had houses then. They had fuck all else, but they had houses!

“It might be suggested that access to the property market could be a key factor in these results,” Mr Hughes said.

Very likely, that’s all there is to it.
I always feel things like this are such bait
Housing is a pipe-dream for most under 40, much less 25; healthcare is in bits for everyone; the cities and towns they do live in are slowly crumbling away or filled with tax-dodge non-businesses; and the nightlife and other outlets that would have sustained young people’s morale have also undoubtedly suffered after Covid.
People can point to the MNCs all they want, but all they’re doing in this regard is distorting economic performance metrics. Take them out of it and the domestic economic picture isn’t much better than the post-crash plateau.
If you put the work in back then even those on lower wages would have something to show for it, that is no longer the case.
The same posters painting this just young people complaining are the ones constantly giving out that no one cares about laws and behaving properly. This is the roots of the fuck you got mine culture and will only get worse by allowing the current set up to fester.
This is simply not true though? If it were then emigration wouldn’t have been so much higher then than it is now despite it being so much easier now
