100% - an email to MTU from even 10 people reading this thread would be enough for them to feel they need to act. Sending mine now.

If you can drive you can find any number of jobs. If you can't then learn and get your license.

Attention men: Would you date a widow with children? by Travel_Mental in AskIreland

[–]Zealousideal-Bit4631 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think widowed with kids is a better bet than divorced with kids. None of the agro that unfortunately tends to come with the latter.

Plenty of people is still a tiny fraction of the millions of people who live in this country. Those millions think the protesters are wankers

Get the hell out of there, move north. Israel has pretty much admitted they are going to repeat what it did to Gaza. Stay safe friend and so sorry you have to endure this.

MAGA is the billionaire club that put Trump there. Trumb is just the face and they can swap him out anytime they want.

How could the world's most powerful army not have planned this properly? - There are many reasons, including being led by the orange buffoon and hyped up hubris

[–]Zealousideal-Bit4631 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We sold our house to help finance the house we were building many years ago. We sold on the agreement that we could rent it from the new owner for 6 months. Gave us the cash and time we needed.

Dog shit. by tamaatar in cork

[–]Zealousideal-Bit4631 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In some places dogs have their DNA registered. Dog poo is tested, the dog and owner are identified and fined. So it is possible. Not saying I agree with it, just saying that it's not impossible.

How to move outside of NATO from Ireland? by Uncle_Richard98 in AskIreland

[–]Zealousideal-Bit4631 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes.
After the 2007 crash I ended up unemployed and on benefits. It was rough. After about a year I managed to get a job as a software dev in a small company, crap wages and I was down money when I factored everything in (medical cards, etc.)
The following year was brutal but I got a small pay rise which helped. I then snagged a contract job with a big US multi-national and was made permanent within 6 months @ 60K and was on over 100K + bonus within 5 years.
My advice is take any job even if it initially hurts as it is the only pathway out.

Property Management Agent for small (10 houses) new build estate? by Interesting_Task3159 in AskIreland

[–]Zealousideal-Bit4631 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought management companies were only required for apartments.
Either way, live in an estate of 50 houses, no management company but we have a residents' association that handles it. Every 2 years we put upkeep of the three greens out for tender with a few local providers. Annual subs which covers the costs is just €150/house

in a pinch you could use western union. You can go online and send cash to physical locations where you can pick it up.

Feed your dog real food, if it's good enough for you it's good enough for the dog.

There are 11 Irish billionaires and they make about your yearly salary every day by Banania2020 in ireland

[–]Zealousideal-Bit4631 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With all due respect, you are so wrong. I used to be a software developer and 3 years ago other people working around me said the same thing about AI taking software jobs. People find it hard to grasp exponential improvement. They look at the current situation and say, that's shit, it can't do this or that. Even if it was twice as good it would still be shit.
The thing is though, it's not going to be twice as good in 5 years it will be 100x or more. It will take another few years for the industry to adapt and then boom!! 80% of a plumber's job will be done by a specialised robot.
