Answer 2

Income varies of fiels of work. Adverages after tax are around

Sales Clerks: E400 per week

Construction: E600 per week

Childcare: E500 per week

I personally was alwasy satisfied with the Health Care I recieved in Ireland. (I moved to the US recently and it is very different financially and even personally. Irish nurses are a lot friendlier)

Growing up in Ireland I never got treatment abroad or knew of a single person who did. I return to Ireland for Medical and Dental treatment still.

I like that our Health Care system is socialised and it is affordable. You do not have to have private Insurance to go to the doctor or ER like you do here in the US. Without Insurance in the US an ER visit is around $2,000 for visit and xrays. In Ireland it is E55 and that includes visit, xrays and even a cast, which you have to get done somewhere else in the US.
