Very well put, and I feel exactly the same. Quality of life is more important than people seem to realise, and it is coming near tipping point for my family. I love this country, and I'd love to stay - just not at any price. The price is getting too high.But you know I fear the worst. I fear that the humble tax payer will have more and more tax hikes and really while we can survive in Ireland - we wont have a life.. Am I being too pessimistic?

I've mentioned this before - I think a lot of people with jobs will still emigrate. If the taxes get too high...ie no incentive to improve your lot...the best will leave with the rest.
Yes I agree, a lot of people won't leave because they own their homes and have mortgages and it is better to stay and keep working (even at less money and higher taxes) as they would not be able to sell their homes in this market and pay back the mortgage with the proceeds. And there is also the case that emigrating is a huge step and some people will stay even in a worsening economic situation rather than emigrate.It's not that easy Firefly - some won't be able to leave for various reasons (maybe too indebted to leave or family reasons).
