Irish parents urge their children to leave - emigration masks unemployment disaster

Caoimhin1937.Which part of Ireland was sold to Germany?.I have land deeds in my possession to say otherwise on my bit of Ireland.I know plenty of Irish people who have deeds to property and land.So we can't leave the EU? Yes we can!! So we can't default on debts? Yes we can!! That's doesn't sound like we are owned at all.Fiscal union with EU member states might actually be good for Ireland.Then again it might not.But it's worth a try.By the way it's Slán leat.You left out the fada.There you go!!a á b c d e é f g h i í l m n o ó p r s t u ú.Ctrl Alt the letter.

those who have money leave.everyone else stays.

Caomhighin1937! The population of Ireland as a whole comfortably exceeded 8m in the mid-1800's, when Black '47 kicked-in. The famine did a belated population cull with a little help of British Government laissex-faire capitalism that suited their imperial intentions. X hectares of land divided by y amount of tenants = z amount of estate.

"'Many of the unemployed are among our most talented and are facing a dole queue or emigration,' Kenny said during a speech in Cork on February 3." Still Enda, it must make it an easier country for you lot to govern when there are less Irish to rule over, those voters remaining being the mediocre/less average. 75,000 less by the end of 2012, This Govt has no Mandate any longer.

Dear Sir Peter, you must have been dreaming that this was your country. When did you have this dream? This country was sold to the banksters and the Fourth reich when you were asleep. Slan leat.

Caoimhin1937.Don't annoy me with stupidity.You really don't want to do that.I'll make your comments go belly up.This is your first post and it's a pretty dumb one.Try and do better.Your first sentence is one of an idiot.Don't do it again.Oh! Welcome to IC.Been in your 70's is no excuse for stupidity.This is my country.Just listen to Irish people.

Georgie Boy If you are the smarts of America been an Irish ancestral export yourself.Which country is the smart one then.hahahaha.

The population of Ireland can only facilitate 4.5 mn people at best. After that it goes belly up. I have travelled in the north of Ireland for the last two months and I think the Republic should join them if they will take us. And I consider myself an ex Shinner until I travelled through the north.

Ah George, always the comedian! Im here cos I have a job. Youre not here cos you have nothing we want or need!

I think that a "dole queue" is a symptom of the problem. If the corporate tax was low, say 10%, then corporations would be falling over themselves to HQ in Ireland. Then, if gold and silver "punts" --- call them medallions, souvenirs, or commemoratives --- were minted, you'd have a global interest in buying the "Leprechaun's gold". The problem is always the Gooferement!

Ireland exports its smart and go-ahead young people while mediocrities like curopeter and curdexy stay on.

Sad plight! Wish him well!

Read Animal Farm by George Orwell."Everybody is equal,but some people are more equal than others"That's about sums it up Cillowen.

at least those "wakings" are not a feature any more. Still can't understand why their leaders are not serving years in gaol.

Shouldn't that headline read "Irish parent urge son to leave"Is that him going in the picture?
