So turns out big chunks of Ireland are actually *empty*.
Sadly inevitable as the birthrate declines.
A lot of rural communities will become permanently unfeasible for families in coming decades, just as it is in many parts of Europe.
Ireland’s #isfull movement clearly wrong!
They also need to start procreating.
It’s like a riddle: how the population is going up and going down at the same time
Young people can’t afford to have kids anymore.
Too expensive innit.
Not worth the cost
We just need something like mega city 1, be grand ……judge Nolan……..erm maybe not
Massive population collapse will affect most of the world in the next 75 years, not that surprising.
Would Covid have affected numbers as there was no teenage discos
And yet my young fella was denied a place in our local primary school due to them reaching their capacity with enrollments. How can they turn away a child that has lived in the catchment area from when he was born 5 years ago? I appealed it and the secretary said there is nothing they can do and that older kids get preference; he was born early Dec, so that means that those that applied and were accepted (without caveats like having siblings already in attendance) have their birthday between August and end of November! That is 4 months and they have reached capacity without even reaching that year’s end, ridiculous!
Went to school in a tiny village with 12 people in my class. Classes were doubled up so one teacher taught two year groups. By the time my own child went to the same school there were just over 30 kids in her class and the school had expanded massively so there was a classroom per year. But I wonder long term what that will look like
Very hard for young people to start a family if they can’t afford a house to live in.
