And judging by the US's inability to do anything about its own climbing national debt of $15 trillion, a President and Congress who won't agree a way forward on economics or anything else and no remedy in sight, no wonder those who emigrate to the US can't afford to return to Ireland.

Could we call a plumber? An Irish plumber? We do have a brain drain problem here in the colonies. It seems every time someone smart shows up, g'ment taxes 'em so much that they either run away or shout invectives like "stuff it up you own pipe, Jack." ... So, yes, we could use some Irish brainiacs here in the western USA. Prerequisite: knowledge of world history and basic applied economics. Plenty of jobs opening up in the education field as our own local breed of teacher who just can't get around the idea of a Constitution, let alone a correct, un-machinated history lesson set reflective of street smarts and math.

Judging by the plight of those who've emigrated who can't afford to return to Ireland or if they do return can't afford to buy a house in Ireland, when house prices are at the lowest they've been in years, they haven't done well abroad at all.

Why don't they work in a country where they don't need visas? Ireland.

The Royal Society in England was the first to coin the phrase "brain drain".

So the rest are going to be left to starve just because the traitors of Ireland prefer to finance pretentious American Corporations and bond holders.
