In my experience no one is selling their house in Rathgar to live rural, at least rural Ireland, maybe they will go to rural Italy or France.
In this thread, the usual screwball who wants to forcibly evict everyone from the countryside. Cromwell would be proud.
He blocked me for reminding him he said that.
Bring back wilderness.
Where in Ireland is it 70km to the nearest town? 140km diameter of remoteness
Classic Ireland. I grew up in greystones, which does have a train to the city. Feels like that town has doubled in size in the last 10 years. Should be fine with the train link but no, everyone bought shite houses far away from the train station. Those houses weren’t cheap, definitely could’ve got one near Bray or Shankill stations for less. Each house has multiple cars outside and people drive the whole way into Dublin. So many cars on the N11, now they want extra lanes running through the countryside.
Oh, and the main street is so full of traffic that you can’t even sit outside in peace.
That’s a bungalow mate. They haven’t even got the driveway finished either. Hardly a mansion.
Yeah, how fucking dare she use her own money to legally purchase a house away from the city, the stupid cow?
“there’s just nothing else to complain about anymore”
Person who has to make up fake scenarios that never happened in real life
I live in the countryside and I’ve literally never met someone who previously owned a house in Dublin but decided to move down here for the craic.
What I have met though are people who wanted to live in Dublin but couldn’t afford the insane prices, so they decided to live rural and commute instead. You can’t blame those people for trying to make the best of their situation.
Living in rural Ireland isn’t incentivised, rather living in the city is disincentivised due to sky high rent and cost of living.
Affordable housing or access to public transport and community. Pick one.
This example of “why would someone moving to a rural area when you have everything you need right beside ya” is the dumbest point to make.
It is a fact that the Irish rail network has been gutted over the last 40 years.
From reading this thread im guessing this person is either woefully ignorant or just trolling.
Anyway, I write this from my one off hovel in Mayo that was built on the blood, sweat, tax and tears of the people of Dublin who allow me to live such a lavish existence.
In the words of the greatest politician/person currently living Pee Flynn “Try it sometime”.
Ireland will always be backwards in municipal planning and infrastructure. Always!
Terrible take. There is an appalling lack of public transport in and out of rural Ireland. It has nothing to do with class, background, or individual decision.
Bring back trains at all
Yall think use have it bad, i live in a rural northern county that doesnt have any trains that even come 1 or 2 counties over.
Money into the rail system. You should be able to live in Ballinasloe or Thurlus and commute to work in Limerick or Dublin daily (if you want)
“Forced”
Dont wanna live in non-major cities or towns with terrible infrastructure, horrible roads, extremely high housing prices, and young people with nothing to do vandalising everything? Well too bad, fuck you for wanting to live in the country side!
Without even scrolling I’m guessing Eurovision2006 is somewhere in this thread hating on anyone who dare live outside the M50
Can the “no mansion just a big bungalow” comments take a hike please.
It’s easily 3-4 times as a big as my friends and families bungalows.
rural trainlines would be so nice to have though, would reduce carbon emissions and help relieve traffic in a lot of areas. Here in Cavan all the old lines are still where they were, just need to lay down some new tracks and build some new bridges
People inventing scenarios again
I’m walking distance to the nearest village and that’s 20k to the nearest city and there’s no public transport that connects the two lol.
I used to live in a town right outside Galway City, 15 to 20 minute drive and public transport is appealing, inconsistent and operate by pure luck to get a seat.
I now live the same distance outside sligo and enjoy getting the train in. Albeit no early train and only 3 bus times I’m grateful for the little public transport.
I know this is a meme but the real culprits are the appalling and underfunded public transport (gutting of the trains for example) and ridiculous city rental or purchasing prices.
Bring them back and have them run on electric. Normalize yearly and monthly passes.
Add a third track specially for cargo to reduce the need for Lorries on the roads.
That is not a mansion it’s just several garages connected by hallways

Bannan lad got at that.
Mansion?

This is weird but I actually know that house https://goo.gl/maps/i2VcL12bMvf49Ye28
I live in the country side and the only downside was the bloody commute. Now I’m working from home full time and life has never been better.
