I wonder if being vocal about your sentiment about your country and people (ie, saying you never liked them) could be turning them off a bit? There is a lot of solidarity with Ukraine and Ukrainians right now. I don't know why you don't like us, but whatever the reason it may not be the reassuring sentiment you think it is to potential employers. Besides, saying you were planning to move to the US may not be very reassuring to an employer in Ireland since now they may worry that you'll just leave them for the US (unless you're specifically applying for short term/one-year roles). Maybe you can indicate your reliability and desire to stay in Ireland in a different way? Good luck!
