Intro CS

The vodcast discusses the issue of immigration in Ireland, focusing on three key points: the housing crisis, lack of opportunity, and high cost of living. The housing crisis leads to people leaving Ireland in search of better opportunities and more affordable living conditions. Many people originally plan to leave for a year or two but end up staying permanently. English-speaking countries like Canada and Australia are popular destinations for Irish immigrants. Data shows that a significant percentage of 18 to 24-year-olds in Ireland plan on leaving or migrating to another country. Hi everyone, welcome to our vodcast. Today we are joined by Sharon, Alyssa, Luke, Ella and myself, Daniel. And today's topic will be about exigent issues in Ireland, but more specifically immigration. And today we will be focusing on three key points, the housing crisis, the lack of opportunity and the cost of living. Unless you've been living under a rock, then you know that immigration is a big problem in Ireland right now and is only getting bigger. Unfortunately, not everyone understands why this problem exists, but thanks to research done by a guest today on our podcast, hopefully you'll all learn something. So how does the housing crisis increase the rate of immigration? Well, the housing crisis in Ireland really does have a domino effect when it comes to immigration. Lots of people who decide to leave Ireland go to seek better opportunities for themselves, you know. Whether it's a job opportunity and become a teacher, better education for college like becoming a nurse, or just because, you know, Ireland's a pretty expensive place to live. As the housing in Ireland is so expensive, people are unable to keep up with all the expenses and have no other choice but to leave. To dive deeper into this topic, I read an article which had multiple people in Ireland telling their personal experiences to why they are leaving. It shows that a lot of people only plan on leaving Ireland for a year or two. However, they find themselves staying permanently. People emigrating to Ireland tend to go to English-speaking countries, but more people choose to go to Canada and Australia over England, which is pretty funny, I guess. After collecting data from 18 to 24-year-olds in Ireland, I found it quite interesting, because between the ages of 18 and 19, there was a 51% of people who wanted to leave Ireland, or at least planned on migrating to Ireland.
