I used to be but I do the odd nixer so I think that has pushed me firmly into the Middle Class category. Nothing more middle class than standing on the M50 last night in the rain while their crews close lanes.
I’m not a mechanic anymore and only do a 32hr week so I’m undoubtedly middle class now myself, not even gonna mention Bohs & liking for the odd craft beer 
You could be pushing into upper class going on like that and if you had 10 fingers.

As someone who works in a bank I can tell you it was very relevant to his question. As a public servant he is in a more advantageous position for getting a mortgage (including exceptions on >3.5x salary) than those in the private sector.

In relation to his partners job, again relevant as "professionals" are again in a better position when it comes to mortgage applications.

Not sure why you needed to tell everyone that you work in a bank to be honest.

Who'd have thought this serious thread could become so amusing. 

Ireland's problems are been replicated across the western world in different forms. And as we have such sh*t rental options once the prices go sky high it makes the housing issue 10 times worse. 

The tax on rents are very high, why not try and bring those prices down by giving a tax cut if landlords reduce the rental prices? 25% of ministers are landlords themselves which doesn't help, and there are probably others who have shared properties in their family/partners names. Michael Healy Rae has the most properties, just the modest 16 for the man of the people.  
It would damage this forums' reputation

LOLLOLLOL I wasn't debating about housing ya mad thing, I had a very specific question about a mortgage that occupations would play a part. Anyway, thanks to the couple of lads that gave me useful answers. And thank you Trigboy for giving me a good laugh!! You'll probably recognise me from 114 and you'll realise I'm upper class, not middle classThumbs Down
It was Baldrick who first mentioned the word debate i was only referencing it back to him. No hassle happy to help when i can.
