Half of Irish fear they will lose their jobs in 2012

Loyal when you can tell me more about business than I have lived,I will listen to you-go back read your posts -most are suppositions .I stand on my facts,which you try to obfuscate.I rest my case.

Curitiba: What you say is plausible. On several occasions young people in Ireland have said to me "There's no point in me going for that job, that company will only hire foreigners". Astonishing and sad that young people feel that way in their own country. That might be relevant to the fact that surveys show that young people in Ireland are the most hostile to Mass Immigration of all age groups--why wouldn't they be? Even part-time and vacation jobs are closed to Irish students because they are taken by cheap labor foreigners. I believe that the Irish universities have been disgracefully lazy and smug in their failure to analyze what's going on in that country. A place whose own people are emigrating, while thousands of foreign migrants stream in every month--that should be a dream area of study for sociologists, economists,even psychologists. But the Irish academics are uncreative and unoriginal loafers, and most of them tend to prattle the Mass Immigrationist line. Even so-called centers for the study of migration never bother with this topic, they prefer to ask the foreign settlers if they think Irish people are racist.

Posted by GeorgeDillon on Dec 30, 2011, 02:07 PM EST The simple answer George, is that the jobs are not being advertised in Ireland. Job agencies set up in places like Poland and India, and the labour is recruited there. The Irish labour market is completely bypassed in this way.

@Murph46: So you are naive enough to believe what your politicians, lawyers and establishment say........How would you know that you are not facing 50% unemployment? America has more tent cities than any other country in the world.........How do you keep proper records with no proper infrastructure? .........Any lawyer will charge you a big fee when they know you do read the rule books.......You have no skills to catch them........Maybe you should read what you type before you judge others.

Are trying to tell me if I'm stressed out about the finacial mess this country walked us into, the greed that has been exposed from Bertie to Fingleton to Cowen and Hearney...that I should ring the smaritans who are not allowed to give advise they just listen??? what a great way to ignore the injustice and get away with robbery

Jaysus Loyal you are obtuse. My country ain't facing 50 % unemployment- Yours is according to the heading of the article.I am describing events that happened,you in turn come back with such drivel as how do you know if your lawyers are lying.Do you read the krap you write or are you just and argumentative SOB? Is a lawyer willing to forego $850 an hour to lie to me.Sure in your mind.As I stated ,I can get an appointment to talk to one when you are ready.

@Murph46: I do mean "before".......Corporate Lawyers get paid $850 per hour do they.........If your lawyer was lying to you, how would you know?........The only way to catch a lawyer is to read the rule books and documents yourself, which puts you back to square one.

Loyal -do you mean before you speak about them. At any rate to your point whatever it may be ,you are patently wrong -I don't need to read the documents ,corporate lawyers do,and they get paid about $850 per hour to be right,and guess what,they were.I would be glad to put you in touch with them to further this since you seem to be so much smarter than me.

It does not surprise me that so many Irish people fear the loss of jobs they are lucky to hold right now. It is worse for young people, the future generations of our Irish nation, graduating from college these years, having invested so much of their time in learning and so much of their parents’ money in their 3rd level education, to find they have little to look forward to. It is a well-known fact that when the building industry in Ireland is “on the go”, the whole economy gains... every single aspect of business in Ireland blossoms, from bricklayers to window and kitchen installers to painters and furniture stores. Everybody gains. We know the mistake of the Celtic Tiger years was Greed - one of the seven deadly sins. Sometimes, many people forget that deadliness, and that of the other six sins, yet they rush headstrong into them all, over and over again and crash spectacularly every time. Perhaps a new subject should be taught in all 3rd, 2nd and 1st level schools of education. Let’s call it “All Good Things in Moderation”. Few will qualify with a Masters degree in AGTiM but those who do will gain the most. Time the people of the troika of the EC, IMF and ECB be sent back to school, don’tcha think? They should not be allowed to leave school without a degree in AGTiM, something they will never master. But outside of it, they will continue to bleed and dump misery on good, willing Irish workers. Does anyone know a good mercenary assassin, willing to kill off these bleeders, one by one, in toto?? Shouldn’t they be the ones fearing loss of their jobs? All of them and not half of them?

@Murph46: I think you have to read the documents first be you speak about them. You clearly have a lot of Irish in you.

I don't have to Your Irish Board of Trade made the offer which they assured the company in writing that it met all Irish laws. That constitutes Due Diligence!

@Murph46: Tell us which rule books or accounts books have you read in Ireland?

Loyal why do you suppose companies move offshore-for better tax rates ,lower wage base etc.THERE IS NOTHING ILLEGAL ABOUT THAT! When you understand that,you can lecture me.I've been there and done that and have the bonafides!

@Murph46: You should always turn down monies you know to be wrong.......If we were to take away all of the incentives your pretentious companies received how many customers would you need?........No supply and demand, no business, no customers......If you read up on law your pretentious corporations have violated article 4 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and could face massive fines and compensation in the years to come......Uniquely you have managed to keep your own customer in servitude........I don't think your in a position to lecture me about English or anything else, you don't have the skills.

first off Loyal -It's their when in reference to a company ,secondly as I explained to you on a non invested piece of land and mill ,the Irish Board of Trade offered much tax incentive for the company to come,as I questioned you b4(never answered)were they supposed to turn down such a generous offer?I think your angst rests with your government and you are rightly frustrated-But I repeat American business IS NOT YOUR ENEMY !Please see this .We have more IN common than Not.
