RE: Steemit Basic Income Giveaway (Your country)
Sounds like a great country and nationality to belong to! Ireland is on the list of places that I want to visit, oddly enough, I had always thought that it was a quiet and green place!
Just for a complete entry, you also need to answer the other question :
What are things about your country that you are not so proud of? Again, it could be anything at all!
Sorry i missed that part. What i don't like about the country is the levels of corruption and incompetence at government level. We have a housing crisis, healthcare crisis, mental health crisis, etc....... And our politicians either can't or won't do anything about it. We have families sleeping on the streets and houses that people cant afford to rent but foreign companies are paying 1% tax to operate here. There are a hundred other examples. It's a great country with some great people but the top politicians and companies care nothing about the people.
Oh I'm with you about the senselessness of creating a tax haven (either for individuals or corporations). They will park their money there, but they do as little as possible to achieve that "right". In addition, it takes away from the countries that the taxation should normally go to without the accounting tricks....
It's a valid entry!
PS: I'm coming to Ireland for the first time in a week or so! I'm curious to see how mad you guys really are!
Great to hear it. It depends on what part of the country you go to, it gets a lot wilder out the west of the country but there is still plenty to see and do around the place.
Have you any plan for the trip or just coming over to see a few sites? It should be fun either way.

Just coming for work, so I will be in a single area... Not sure how much free time I will have, but will definitely try the local drinks and food! Any recommendations?
Depends on what area you will be in. Ask anybody local and they can point you in a good direction. My idea of a night out might be slightly different to yours but i'm sure that you can find something to do during your trip. It can't be work all of the time...!!! Obviously you will have to drink some guinness but i like my whisky and you can find a lot of varieties around too.
Of course! Irish whisky, will have to keep an eye out for that!
