What a surprise when you make it one of the main countries to exfiltrate wealth out of Europe. If the Irish cared, they'd vote against such laws and for a wealth tax.
I live in Denmark the most expensive country in EU when not including micro-states.
I don't see a problem with being more expensive than average, because we also have high wages. everything is a little bit more expensive here, but that's only natural as I see it. I don't see it as shameful to be most expensive, when we are also given the means to afford it.
Ireland makes to the news and Denmark not, because besides the high prices, Ireland is a very bad/undeveloped place to live. Source: 1st hand experience.
That's not my gripe, my gripe is they include other countries by calling it "high-costs league of shame".
Ireland may have a problem, but Denmark doesn't really, so although we are even more expensive, I don't see how we belong in a league of shame in this regard. The article is trash talking other countries that are doing absolutely fine.
I'm not speaking for other countries, but I'm lower income in Denmark, and I'm doing very well thank you.
Eh, at least you can get paid very well in Switzerland. The amount of money I was saving every month working there was more than I could expect after tax in parts of the EU..
