New Great Famine exhibit to open in Hamden, Connecticut

Not so sure what any of this has to do with the great famine exhibit, but I am intrigued by your ocmment BrendanDunphy. So the twenty-something Irish, like ciaradexy, are angry and hostile. That is interesting. I wondered if it was just him/her.

Ciaradexy is proof to the popular and widespread belief that today's generation of Irish are a much less friendly people than in prior generations. In fact, they appear to be downright angry and hostile.

Where have I put Irish people down? Show me 1 sentence where I put Irish people down.

READ THE INFO ON THE WEBSITES I SENT YOU FOR THE LOVE OF FLIP! GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE HATE FILLED VACCUUM YOU ARE IN! The info is there for you on a website run by the nurses board and the medicines board! You cannot FORCE irish people to study medicine or nursing just so you can fill the jobs! Read the information there and get your head out of the clouds! You assume hospitals etc dont want to hire irish people, the people ARE NOT there to do the jobs! You cannot answer the questions Im putting to you! You have not given a valid answer in regards to my questions! If hospitals cannot get the staff, what should they do? Stop waffling on there off topic. Stick to what Im asking you and give me some solutions.

ITS TERRIBLE THE WAY YOU PUT YOUR OWN PEOPLE DOWN,ITS DISGUSTING

ANYTHING THAT IRELAND NEEDS WE CAN TRAIN OUR OWN PEOPLE DO DO,LIKE WE ALWAYS HAVE DONE,WE NEVER NEEDED MASS IMMIGRATION AN WE NEVER WILL NEED IT,ALL YOUR RUBBISH ABOUT IRELAND NEEDING IT IS SIMPLY PUR AN UTTER NONSENCE,YOU ARE SO IGNORANT,IT REALLY PISSES ME OFF,YOU SHOULD GO BACK TO THE LABOUR PARTY,IT WOULD SUIT THE INDOCTRINATED PERFECTLY

the cheek of you,the amount of irish that cannot find work in this country,or cannot afford to work directly because of competition from immigrants,you have some neck,we have people leaving colledge with qualifications for nurseing an they have to go abroad because they are not getting employed,you sound like bertie or enda kenny there,and in any case were talking MASS IMMIGRATION HERE NOT A FEW JOBS,WERE TALKING THE MANY JOBS ,FORGET ABOUT IT,YOU LOVE MASS IMMIGRATION AN THATS REALLY IT,FOR SOMEONE THAT GOES TO COLLEDGE YOU ARE SO SMALL MINDED ITS UNBELEIVABLE,YOU JUST CANNOT SEE THE REAL DESTRUCTION THAT THIS IS CAUSING THROUGHOUT EUROPE,NOT IN THE SLIGHTEST,I DONT KNOW AT ALL WERE YOU GET YOU BS FROM

I suggest you look at nixers .ie to see how many jobs are available which people are having issues with filling. Maybe try nurses .ie too. Also irishhealth. com/article.html?id=19025 might be of interest to you.

Oh and what about our shortage of doctors and nurses? Should we just not hire from outside Ireland too?

Ah ok, so if Im working for €10 (which is better than minimum wage plus we get tips)and my migrant work colleague is also, whats your next issue? Should we be paying waiting staff much bigger hourly rates? Would that entice people into the service industry?

BECAUSE OF LOW WAGES IS THE CAUSE,PEOPLE DONT COME HERE TO BE SERVER BY IMMIGRANTS,

AWOKEN!! I am speaking from my experiences! I have worked in hotels and restaurants with foreign staff and my own friends have said they wouldnt work in these jobs! If Irish people wouldnt take these jobs what do you expect these businesses to do? Answer the question! You cannot force irish people to take jobs they dont want!

everything you say about mass immigration is nothing but government spin,pure rubbish,just look at the whole of europe,im not getting into this again with ye,some sheeple are to far gone

There is no lack of staf,the irish are getting priced out of work,go into any restruant an you wont see an irish person working there,an yes if immigrants were having a negative impact in austrailia,they should be sent home

Mates I went to college with went traveling to Australia and NZ. Some got jobs and have stayed there. Should they be sent home?
