For ordinary people trying to live it's down to choices that shouldn't have to be made.
Such prosperity
What do you expect ? Killing babies is the fashion now which we call termination of pregnancy.
Last year, in Ireland, 6,666 Irish pregnancies were terminated. Over 10% of all babies, or one in every ten, were aborted. We are literally decimating our own population.
Problem solved.
Waiting for the far right to reply with the typical 'planned depopulation'' as well as the 'how dare women have a right to make a choice with their own body' comment.
2021 will make up for it covidbabies
Cost of living has gone up, while wages stay practically the same low level. Hard enough surviving when it's a couple..adding a child to the mix makes it damn near impossible. 🤷♀️
Can’t afford a second mortgage to have a child
williamhboney1 Well the comments are on or about what I expected.
Migration is up, birth rates are down. Hmm.... isn't that what the 'far right' are giving out about but the msm keep calling is a conspiracy theory?
DFallamhain 6666 abortions, did you expect the population to increase? We get what we voted for
Just wait until we have the figures from when abortion on demand was legalised.
Meanwhile the population rises rapidly. We are a people in decline.
You're being replaced Irishmen and Irishwomen
Killing them off in the womb will contribute to that alright.
gemtippytoes There hasnt been replacement fertility since 1990 in Ireland. A disaster. They are now bringing in migrants to replace you.
If Irish women don’t want to have children, Ireland is basically fukt. The Nigerians and muslims will have it.
The great legacy ffg have left in their trail of destruction . You can have a house or a family but not both in this country
