Patrick- It will be the best thing you can do for yourself..Ireland will never change. They have their chance with the Celtic Tiger but blew it in typical Irish fashion. You deserve a better life.

Will the Irish in Ireland ever grow up & stand up for themselves. It's easy to see how they have been invaded & ruled by other nations so easily. The Vatican & Europe now runs the place. The Irish are sadly a servile people & as long as they have enough for a few pints they don't care otherwise until it's too late.

Patrick!! I"ll donate a euro to your travel plans. There's a modicum of truth in the presidents piece and I'm sure O'Higgins sypathises with the loss of educated young Irish people.

It wasnt Irish people , it was the people WHO ARE STILL DOING THE SAME THING NOW. Thats Irelands political elite and their army of morons who keep voting the same people back into the dail to do it again.

It is high time that a high ranking political figure of the Irish state utters words of sympathy for that state's young people who are forced to emigrate.

What an embarrassment to have as president. Then again, most things my country does is embarrassing.
He's just full of populist, self-righteous garbage. Can't wait to leave this rain soaked island once and for all in a few years time.
