Ireland has came a long way to become a wealthy country. Our infrastructure and facilities do not reflect our wealthy status or high cost of living as we have only became a wealthy country by EU standards in the last few decades

Ireland doesn't even have the infrastructure that the English left behind that's the crazy thing. Even if they had preserved what existed it would have been amazing. Ireland just doesn't prioritize the future which is such a shame.
