Cork has a charm like no other and is regarded as a cosy place to live.

Cork as well is the biggest County in Ireland with beautiful areas to visit along the coast.. also Irish do not love a fight , that refers to the traveling community who are a law unto themselves otherwise Cork is a safe City to live, visit etc

@squareapples5118 Месяц назад

Cork is nice overall, been living here 15 years. However in recent times, the cost of living has reallt spiralled out of control. I realise the same can be said of many other European cities, however lack of housing supply has seriously compounded the issue in Cork. Trying to find a rented property often turns into a bidding war with 100s of applications for any property that goes on the market. I've heard of many people in the rental market offering above asking price. The supply shortage has become so bad that even if you've got the money, there's absolutely no guarantee you'll find somewhere to rent. Many listings are only accepting inquiries by email. Situation is not as bad as Dublin yet, but quickly catching up..

Born in USA BUT RAISED in CORK....Ballincollig to be exact! Ballincollig was mostly Farmland and basically a Stop Sign on the Road to Macroom when we first moved back to Cork when I was 8. Since then it has gotten a Lot Bigger I hear. I have DUAL CITIZENSHIP! My Father was born in Prosperity Square, Cork City and my Mom was born in Belfast. Moved back to USA when I was 18 due to lack of employment and better opportunities. Still have family all over Ireland! Would LOVE to return to retire but I'm concerned about Cost of Living, Crime and the Illegal Immigrant Issues.

Where does Ireland rank in crime rate? According to the Global Peace Index, Ireland is one of the top 3 safest countries on the planet. A place where it would be good to live and travel, without fear for your safety. The study is based on a precise rating system, which assesses the level of crime, violence and corruption in each country

Hi guys, great video and cool to see my city! But you might want to include something about Ireland's housing crisis. It's the worst we've ever experienced. There's so much competition when it comes to rentals and landlords are raising their prices constantly. If you have pets you can forget about it!

@amredrisco8416 8 месяцев назад

As a Cork man, I considder Cork to be Ireland`s third largest city, after Dublin and of course Belfast. Cork, like everywhere else in the republic, subsidizes Dublin which is known as a parasite city, in Ireland. Even so, it still kicks Dublin`s butt in terms of value and everything else. Cork is nice. A happy place.

@jameskeogh948 2 месяца назад

What an ignorant statement! The fact is Cork is subsidised by Dublin -- an UNESCO City of Culture. Dublin collects 56% of all taxes gathered by the Irish state as well as distributing non tax gifts and subsidies to sports clubs and venues in Cork and elsewhere, including the much hyped GAA ground. Cork city is only a small fraction of Dublin's size and I think all reasonable people understand that parasites are always a lot smaller than the Bodies responsible for keeping them alive. Everything in Cork city is subsidised!

The accent? Yeah, it's a fair cop, but I gotta tell you, that 'vocal fry' isn't too easy on the ear, either! 'Richest country in the World'? I think that's what's called 'juking the stats'. Or maybe it's the crazy income the landlords are raking in, what with all those (Kof! Koff!) 'digital nomads' (hipsters) raising the asking prices... I mean, as you say, it's a problem everywhere, but without wishing to do Dublin down (or Cork) - Berlin, or Paris, it ain't! And that city wall - have you _seen_ it?! Let's hope the Vikings aren't back any time soon! (I think they could've been the ones that built it, but you get my point!)

As a real Corkonian (not one of the 1 million non nationals in IRL in 2023), my view is the following.. Corkonians (real ones) are amazing people. Funny and generous folks. The City itself is still run down in many areas ie buildings in a bad state of repair. The Council is rubbish here. Never seen cleaning etc. Other main issue here is we dont have Police. One rarely sees a Garda on foot for example. It could be a great place if we had investment and a good Council. Never had so..

@expatseverywhereexplores 7 месяцев назад

Isn't Irish an ethnicity and not race? Either way, the intension wasn't that. From our time living abroad, the Irish have been both the funnest/friendliest people we've hung out with and also the ones quickest to throw a punch on a night out drinking. Is that fair to say or no?
