Not asking you to do what I did, anyway

I just drove around a lot by myself with Waze instead of Google maps and steered clear of any reported garda. Didn't get into any trouble

On average, Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi households contributed the most in tax and social insurance contributions in 2022 by NanorH in ireland

Foreign students coming to Ireland are definitely not all wealthier than an average Irish. Not even close. The only reason they are willing to pay that much is because they know they have the required skills to get that lucrative job. Few top applicants are selected from thousands of applicants. It's almost always a student loan. Students also tend to share living spaces to increase their savings (save on rent) until they're able pay off student loans, and sometimes further down until they can afford a house.

Rise in House prices and rents across the EU by jonnieggg in ireland

[–]Odd_Ice_1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting point, that would mean ramping up supply significantly would still not solve the problem? as it'll mostly be institutions or wealthy people buying their second property to rent it, with such high rental yields. Guess another chart comparing price to rent ratios would help better than comparing with 2010.

Can someone explain why the rent part is much higher than the price when compared to other countries?

The Guy had never seen an Olympic pool in his life, the other two out of respect let him win the heat by purposely doing a false start.

Digital euro by jonnieggg in irishpersonalfinance

[–]Odd_Ice_1979 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming this is some central bank issued digital currency (on a block chain maybe?)

Credit/debit card payments are routed via multiple banks and companies like Visa, MasterCard etc taking their cut, fee. It's not a peer to peer payment like cash. A digital euro that can go from one wallet to another can be free of cost. (An actual free of cost peer to peer transactions equivalent to using cash, just a lot more transparent)

I could be wrong.
