Didn’t realise there was a Korean island off the coast of Sligo. I’ll have to put it on my list of places to visit. 👍
This kinda blows my mind because all I can think of is that there’s too many people in this country already. Traffics, queues, busy pubs and restaurants etc
Maybe I just don’t like people
Less breakfast rolls, smaller people
Ireland minus six counties.
*”Ireland’s population was estimated to be 5.01 million in April 2021″ (Not as a whole that’s another 1.5 millions roughly)*
*”Scotland’s population is estimated to be 5.454 million (2019)”*

Oddly similar though is it not ?
I bet they have a train to the airport.
I wonder do they complain about the electricity grid much
We have issues with our North, imperial neighbours, mass produce boybands and love cabbage.
The horny devil’s
If we all started banging out kids like fireworks the economy would eventually be doing pretty well. Sure all they taxes they’d be paying when the come of age.
we are extremely underpopulated
Why are they so much sexier then us and why are the movies so much better ?
If the famine and subsequent emigration had not happened, some learned people put our population at least at 30 million.
The famine and all the ills after gave us soft power abroad but made us under populated.
They’ve a big housing crisis ongoing at the moment (seems the world has) but oh the public transport, would make Irish eyes water at its efficiency and volume.
and way smarter
Rice is more calorific dense than potatoes.
Great bunch of lads.
Density of Seoul is 4 times that of Dublin
They just can’t stop fucking
Instead of Guinness they have Soju
Yet still far more wilderness than us.
No excuse for the housing crisis.
Both nations were also invaded and colonized by a neighboring island country famous for their citizen’s bad teeth and propensity for driving on the left side of the road.
I’ve also heard that the Irish like drinking, dancing and singing, some things that Koreans really love as well.
They don’t think that semi-ds are dense urban environment.
Who keeps advertising real estate? Well, actually. More people might bring down the renting crisis…
Yeah well 10x times population, did South Korea have a famine in the past century or so?
Dublin and Hanoi, Vietnam are almost identical in km2, yet Hanoi has approx 10million people.
Every corner you walk around there another 10,000 Hanoians looking at you.
If we never had a famine and had managed sustainable growth through the 19th century, we’d probably have 30-40m of a population now.
You only have to drive around rural Ireland and see all the empty houses in every single village, there’s meant to be more people here. There *were* more people here, not many western countries can say that.
We just lost so many over the century following the famine and the growth we’ve had since then has been clustered around Dublin far too much.

Get your North/South quips in (again) today!
Love from Korea <3
Imagine if we had Korea’s public transport and urban planning 🥺
They are also missing the North part.
I’d say their Penny’s is fucked
That map of Ireland is a ugly abomination and hurtful to the Irish in the six counties!
Imagine the housing crisis if we had another 45 million people and to deal with!
south Korea is actually suffering from [negative population growth](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-55526450) too so won’t be 10% for long..
How many one-offs with road frontage do they have though?
South Korea’s landmass is approximately 100,032 square km
Ireland’s landmass is approximately 70,273 square km
Shape of of Gwangju
We both have a pesky northern friend
