I understand. I moved abroad instead of dealing with the consequences of unbridled capitalism and record inequality. Ireland has plenty of problems but on the whole you could do a lot worse. Assuming the rule of law stays intact(ish) it should do better than most places w.r.t. climate change. My homeland is burning up, sadly.
I do work remote. Will be about 12 minute's drive from Tullamore, which is 53 minute train ride from Dublin. Hospital and even a greenway for cycling not too far. The long term plan is to structure life to be low overhead and be able to work for ourselves, do some permaculture as well.
Considered other countries but Ireland has been pretty good to us (crap bike infra notwithstanding) and, well, life is a long and winding road. I'd never get a house cash an hour from the job centers of my former home (Northern California).
