Thousands of Irish workers wanted in Australia says Aussie minister

Australia's probably envied by most places. Take it from an expert. Australia Meteorically @ the Fore

Working in the mining industry doesn't sound like a good job.

Treacle, judging by the huge numbers of Chinese I saw in Dublin a month or two ago, there'll be a Chinese Taoiseach long before there's a Chinese in the White House. But say, how come they haven't accepted you for Van Diemens Land, treacle? Don't have any skills to offer? Writing internet garbage don't qualify as a usable skill? Or has sean, the guy from melbourne carved out a monopoly on Down Under dirt?

Skilled and educated leave Ireland by the thousands,as the Government officials waste time and the tax payers money spreading lies about Martin McGuinness and printing some type of useless certificates to sell as a scam to people of Irish decent in foreign lands.Looks like Ireland that was once known as the land of Saints and Scholars,is becoming the land of Thieves and Crooks.The only hope for Ireland is Martin,Gerry,Pierce,and Mary lou McDonald.

It's interesting how Countries like Australia always come to Ireland for BRAINS AND SKILLED workers!! Maybe we should become like BraindeadDillon and just sit on our asses and IMPORT EVERYTHING FROM CHINA - and then SELL OUT TO THE CHINESE. Won't be long before we see a CHINESE President!! ROFLMAO

I am delighted that there IS work for the Irish even if it is in Australia, my brother and his wife will be 2 of those people. I for one lived abroad and had this stupid notion to move back home to settle , what a joke, nothing worked out and employment for my husband was zero. We packed the bags and moved back to the USA and we are here 11 years and have never looked back. Irish people do not run ad hide as someone on here has said, they fight to pay their own way and feed their own families and if that means leaving Ireland to do it , I commend them as anyone living away from home with a family knows how many sacrifices we make to provide for our families.

A picture of Perth to attract people to The Northern Territory. That's a hell of a long way away.!Make sure you'll be paid as a "skilled" worker and not have to work your way up from square one for 2 years,regardless of your level of Skill.

Even as the Irish abandon their country, the place is filling up with foreign criminals and welfare leeches. Many readers will have read about the Bosnian family that's pulling in over $120K a year from Irish welfare. They're breaking no law--the Irish are stupid enough to pay them for existing--but there are also the criminals such as the large Romanian gang that was pulled in a couple of days back for a string of robberies around Dublin, or the Roma guy who was charged today with murder of a bar owner (a very nasty slaughter, it appears, possibly including castration of his victim). Foreign migrants make up fully one third of the occupants of Irish jails. It seems the Irish feel they don't have enough native hoods and criminals, they have to import them also. What sane person would want to live in that kind of dump, except migrants who are coming in from even worse places?

The government will probably want to impose an an exit tax on all immigrants.I see electricity is going up 22% gas heat is going up 15% also a new water tax going on in a lot of case more than 50% of paycheck being taken then you have 22%vat gasoline tax it never ends.I would stick my certificate of irishness in my pocket and head to oz

Time to leave this God forsaken joke of a country

Just as thousands of young Irish men and women leave for Australia, thousands of Indians, Poles, Pakis etc. are streaming into Ireland. It's called ethnosuicide. By the middle of this century the Irish will be just another ethnic minority in their own ancient homeland. You can already see it happening if you happen to pass by an Irish school when the children are leaving--you see that the Irish are in a minority. On one level I don't blame the young Irish--I'd want to get the hell out if I was in their situation--I blame the lousy Irish political class, be it Fianna Fail, Fine Gael Sinn Fein or whoever. They're all useless jerks. But having said I don't blame the young Irish, I gotta say that there is something weird about the Irish. They appear to have very little attachment to their homeland. Portugal and Greece are in a bigger crisis than Ireland, yet you don't see the Portuguese or Greeks abandoning their country by the thousands. There's room here for an anthropological study--how come the Irish run away instead of standing and fighting?

If I were younger, I'd move to Australia myself. Fair play to those who take job offers there, and they may find they like the country well enough to make it a new home.

According to Irish Politicians, Financial Media Ireland is doing well..............Do you leave or do you stay?

Great news for Irishwomen and men looking for employment opportunities overseas!
