That’s the graph I got when I clicked into the report, can you link Ireland’s info that you took your screenshot from?
Fourth from the bottom, I read as ‘Persians’.
I see so most of the people have not worked out the principle of Supply and demand.
The law of supply and demand is **the theory that prices are determined by the relationship between supply and demand**. If the supply of a good or service outstrips the demand for it, prices will fall. If demand exceeds supply, prices will rise.
The above being the case it would seem unlimited immigration might be a problem.
Imagine housing is over five times more important than the EU average. That really shows how big of a mess our government has caused with housing/planning etc.
A lot of Ireland’s problem is the political class do not want housing to become plentiful, easy to access or cheap because it will be detrimental to their personal interests. (Remember over 30% of TD’s have rental property per their own reporting)
I’m always surprised that working-class publications like Dublin Live have such immigration-skewed polls compared to the normal results.
Crime, economic situation, education and taxation are less of an issue for the Irish
I thought Palestine was the most important issue in Ireland… oh wait there it is on the bottom Let the downvotes rain
