Increase in new Irish arrivals says leading immigration attorney

Ireland - full of employment opportunities? I think that would be a surprise to many people. Please let us know where these are, so that the tens of thousands of people who have left can return, and the hundreds of thousands who are unemployed, can go back to work. The entire nation will be thankful to you.

Quite right, sirpeter. Three names, one racist bigot. Why don't you grow up, you claim to be IrishCentral's "plucky pensioner", but you're just an old fool. People read these posts hoping to be instructed or entertained. The last thing they want to see is your abuse and bigotry. After they read your filth they just want to reach for the mouthwash.

boomerbob aka sirpeter aka antoman,,,ha ha..Georgy..so now i'm using 3 usernames..you are some dope...

pmunited: You don't seem able to read fairly simple English. I have pointed out (do I need to spell it out in monosyllables?) the fact that the Irish are looking for jobs here--many of them as illegal aliens--when their own country is full of employment opportunities. Proof of the fact that Ireland offers many job opportunities is the arrival and continued presence in Ireland of many hundreds of thousands of Arabs, Poles, Bulgars, Hindus, Pakis, Chinese etc. etc. I don't think that's a terribly difficult concept for a person of even average intelligence. What part of it don't you understand? Is there any way I can simplify it even more for you?

The Irish have a very unjustified reputation for having a good command of the English language. Looking at the empty abuse and shrill namecalling they offer here we can see that the Golden Age of Irish eloquence is as dead as Edmund Burke. Attack my ideas, not my ancestors, boomerbob aka sirpeter, don't be such an utter fool. Or maybe you have no ideas of your own? You're an empty-headed idiot.

GeorgeDillon - I'm willing to wager that you're not Native American!!! Yea, I thought so. It's a shame your ancestors didn't stay where they were, both the IQ and the respectability of the citizens of the U.S. would rise had they done so. .

pmunited...Georgy is Irishcentrals village idiot..hang around,it will become clear to you very shortly.

There are hundreds of thousands of Tunisians and Egyptians living outside the their homeland, either in Europe or the US. and many more would join them, if they could. I will admit that the idea of emigration is deeply ingrained in Irish culture, that people will always consider this an option. But it is a trait of people everywhere to move to where they can have a future. Young people in Northern Maine leave home for the same reason. Does George Dillon believe they should all stay home? Why didn't his ancestors stay home and fight for their rights?

Are these people illegal aliens? If so, how come the authorities are letting them into our country? I have no sympathy for them. Normal people who had an iota of identification with their homeland would stay in their own country and try to improve things. These Irish scurry off at the first sign of an economic problem. What a contrast with the brave people in places like Tunisia and Egypt, who are prepared to sacrifice so much to better their country. The performance of the spineless Irish during this (so-called) crisis has been really contemptible.
