AIBU to be shocked by the Irish referendum?

[Yetmorebeanstocount]

I'm not from the Irish Republic. I just read what the ballot was about. I am shocked at what their constitution contained:

Article 41.2.1° “In particular, the State recognises that by her life within the home, woman gives to the State a support without which the common good cannot be achieved.”
Article 41.2.2° “The State shall, therefore, endeavour to ensure that mothers shall not be obliged by economic necessity to engage in labour to the neglect of their duties in the home.”

I'm even more shocked that early results suggest the Irish have voted to KEEP this dire crap in their constitution.

Am I missing something?

Who were you paying your taxes to?

Are you OK?

The level of anger is a bit over the top amd weird, for me simply saying that irelands referendum is in the American news.

Are you alright?

I never left ireland when I worked Remotely so I paid taxes in ireland.

When you work for a company that is based in one country , and you work remotely in another country, it can be a lot more complicated.

For example one expat here in spain,

told me that she requested to work abroad, and that she had to go through a lot of complicated steps to do it.

How could you not have left and yet worked elsewhere? Were you just WFH in Ireland?

What?. I don't understand

Were you physically in a different country while working for a company that was based in Ireland, operating under Irish law?

I already wrote

"i never left ireland when I worked for that job".

So you were working remotely from Ireland for a country elsewhere?

No it was an Irish company.

This is what I wrote a couple of posts ago

'In my last job. I worked for an Irish company. I worked Remotely. "

So I worked for an Irish company, I never left ireland, I paid taxes in ireland.

Did you want to ask something about it?

When you work for a company that is based in one country , and you work remotely in another country, it can be a lot more complicated.

Nope. Its v well regulated and v simple.
Unless you havent a clue what you are talking about. Like you.

You clearly haven't done it.

I dont think you have. Or you'd know that it isn't.

Have you ever done it?

Well regulated and simple . Lol.

Try and educate yourself about tax.

Here is something from online to help you

"you will usually be considered tax-resident in the country where you spend more than 6 months out of a year"

So if you are resident in an EU country for more than 6 months , you become tax resident in that country and have to pay taxes to that country

Remote working Companies have to implement things to figure this out.

It's different in every company.

Different Countries also have different tax agreements with each other

So you just worked in Ireland then. By remote did you mean WFH? I apologise if got mixed up but it wasn't very clear. Hence my questions.

Yeah I worked from home in that job. Now I'm currently in a work from office job in spain

No prob.

Did you not just say you worked for an Irish company in Ireland albeit from home, which would have no effect? So you were just subject to the Irish tax system. What's the complication?

Sigh.

Can you try and read back

I'm not repeating myself yet again

Yet again

I said it was confusing for people who move to spain and work remotely for irish companies.

I said

"It IS confusing. I was chatting to irish people who work remotely here in spain and they said that the whole thing was confusing for them.

Some of them said they were originally told by their irish company thay they couldn't work abroad, then they were told that they could, work abroad, but that their HR dept was still sorting out the legal/ tax side of things."

I was talking about other people . Not myself

If you pretend that you don't understand for a third time, I'll presume you're just trolling me to make me type shit out again

No I haven't name changed.

Have you name changed? The ones that accuse other people, are usually the ones that do it and spam multiple threads.

You don't need to explain, but I am lost.

Right well then let's just move on to another topic.
Do you want to go back to talking about the referendum. That was the original topic.

Were you happy with the result

Yes.

Just so @DanielGault . I well recall the first batch of asylum seekers arriving in 1997. Before that the only ethnic minority were Italian people - about 3000 of them. Apart from a few dozen students at Trinity or UCD.
If you want black schoolteachers you have to wait until they become adults. I attended secondary school in England and had no black or Asian teachers. Recently I was in Scotland - Stirling , Falkirk - for a funeral. I only saw one black person the whole trip. Is Scotland therefore some far right patriarchal dystopia?

Meanwhile Ireland has the highest per capita immigration in the EU now. From virtually 100 % Irish born we are now at around 80% afaik. In 27 years. That's some change to take on board. We've not handled it too badly imo.

Well that's good then!
