if ireland is rundown then what the hell are countries in africa, asia and central america like Malawi, Somalia, Congo, Burundi, East Timor, Tanzania, Afghanistan, Yemen

the republic of ireland has one of the highest per capita GDP in the world, 5th overall http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_%28nominal%29_per_capita

the republic of ireland is also ranked 5th in the world for Human Development Index which is the measure of life expectancy, literacy, education, and standard of living for countries worldwide ahead of the USA, UK, Japan, France and Germany http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Development_Index not bad for a rundown country

yes we have problems here like poor roads in many parts of the country, a health service stuck in reverse and corruption at the highest levels but in no way are we rundown

Ireland - north and south are not run down. both have good economies with great workers and decent health and education infrastructure. the republic has a fantastic road building programme on the go at the mo...so NO neither the Republic nor Northern Ireland are rundown.

Ireland is a modern country, just don't be scared of its medical system (ER, doctors). But with time and money this will be corrected. Same for roads and train infrastructure.

Some sundays mornings though the streets of Dublin and Cork are just one big dirty mess.

Absolutely NOT.

Ireland is growing it's infrastructure in leaps and bounds. House building is booming (slow down this coming year though). The population of Ireland is growing by millions every year.

Although I will say the Health Service is virtually moribund....

infrastructure and public transport traditionally wouldmn't have been very strong but most of the cities and big towns have come on a lot in recent years.certain places have ben left behind and other places could have been planned better but our scenery hasn't been damaged much.Overall i think that's it's a pretty pleasant country to live in with a great nightlife in some parts.

I should be doing something else

No, Ireland is not a rundown country at all (North or South)
I live in Belfast in the North and it has become booming, especially over the last five years. I have travelled all over Ireland and it is a beautiful country and there is nowhere else in the world I would rather live.

To the person who said stay away from the North.... We are not in the 1970's anymore in case you hadn't noticed - get with the times :)

no its booming ,new roads. almost full employment, population has risen dramatically which is putting a strain on health service.Whilst everyday items may be slightly dearer in comparison to other E.U countries we do have petrol at€1 a litre .our people are friendly and have a positive outlook and the majority of our people own their own homes.Education is first class so if we are run down long may it continue.
