@MickyBigWords@ClydeDonnelly99@KeithMillsD7 I was hopeful. There are many Irish couples who have children abroad and may return to Ireland. There are far more births in Ireland Vs deaths by 15k, although mostly due to people living longer.
@MickyBigWords@ClydeDonnelly99@KeithMillsD7 Does Ireland need 20,000 more native births per year to achieve replacement level and is taking in 120k+ migrants per year, explain how that makes sense
@MickyBigWords@KeithMillsD7 Every single study says global decline in inevitable in 50years no matter what.
Kick the can for another generation to deal with the problem.
Why does Japan, with some of the highest IQs not just have migration as a solution?
@fiannafailparty Too difficult for this government, band of politicians, to do anything related to forward thinking.
The government waits for systems to be overwhelmed than react, all while waiting for the nod of approval from their future employers
