Unemployment rate in Ireland trebles - as 100 people per day emigrate

Ok!! Patrick you have my attention.I'm naturally curious.You seem to have an interesting story.You are American so I'm not sure why you applied for political asylum.Elaborate my man.Let's be having the story.I totally believe you met a dozen bogus asylum seekers.But it's the mental health unit you were put in is kinda catching my eye at the moment.The thing is Patrick challenging any Irishman to a fist fight on the net is a bit mental.At the moment it's 1-Nil to Cloverhill Prison's D-2, "Mental Health" unit.You are going to have to score a few sanity points before I cross you off my loony list and take you seriously.Sorry but that's how internet forums works.

No Patrick I will blame you for your own ignorance. It doesn't matter where you studied: you can bring a horse to water but you can't make it drink, did you ever hear that saying? I hope you aren't another one of those people who talks a great deal about the destruction of 'ancient Irish traditions and Irish culture' but shows very little knowledge or practice of same; GeorgeDillon is a good example of such a person. For example, George rants about the Irish language and pretends to be an expert and fluent speaker etc. Notwithstanding the fact that I have corrected him on numerous occasions (Ba chéim a gcomhaireamh) he is once again making a fool of himself by questioning whether the word 'mealta' exists in the Irish language! Why don't you translate what I said George? Oh, agus go raibh maith agat as do ranníocaíocht! I was very impressed with '(ar lean)'... are you serious! Is that your contribution? 'Continued'...wow. It is such a relief to know that people like you are acting as a bulwark against the 'destruction' of Irish culture. I'll give you another chance to find the word 'mealta', George, then I might go through the other matters raised in your rants (thankfully all I will have to do is cut and paste from our previous discussions -I hope you won't run away so quickly this time). Mar a chéile agamsa é.

@patrickdowney.While I can understand your annoyance in one sense.But I'm thinking maybe you just see the colour of her skin.If you change your thought process to a different angle maybe she is the only one who deserves to be in the pic next to the Famine memorial.She could be a person who was forced to leave her country because of famine like your ancestors.She might even be Irish.You must have done a course in racism in that Irish university if that's where you got your ignorance from.It's much better than Georgie Boys American racism course.I guess Hudson been the moonshine capital of Florida and all that gopher stew,along with the heat is making you a bit mental.Be careful of Georgie Boy though.Nobody excites him more than another racist if you know what I mean.Still you'll be the male in the relationship with those fists of yours.I'm 100% sure they won't be unemployed either.

kinvara wrote: "Sin go díreach an áit a bhfuil tú mealta". I am not aware of any Irish word spelled "mealta". Are we yet again dealing with a misspelling by our illiterate scribe? But more important than this dope's spelling challenges is his policy of lying at will. In his obsession with justifying the importation of huge numbers of foreigners into Ireland, a policy opposed by some 70% of the Irish when polled, kinvara lies about the rate of return of Irish people. Further, he avoids the quite appalling statistics for the continued settlement of Ireland by foreigners. His attempt to be dismissive is a maladroit flop, and only shows him to be a confounded liar and fool, a true Fianna Fail jerk, the kind that has brought Ireland to ruin.

De réir aibítre: @George: Sin go díreach an áit a bhfuil tú mealta. My comments are based on information released by the Central Statistics Office; half of the 42,300 that came to Ireland in the 12 months to April were Irish people returning home. You are a proven liar and a fool, just stay quiet like a good lad; déanfaidh sé maitheas duit. Mo thrua thú. @PatrickDowney: Scairt mé amach ag gáire, an bhfuil do chiall ná do cheadfaí agat? What are you going to do? Get a flight over to Ireland to allow me the opportunity to repeat what I wrote below to your face? If you start the fight by saying: “I am Patrick Downey…of the ancient clan Mac Giolla Dhomhnaigh” I might just die laughing; then maybe that’s your special move! Ó uaisle a shíolraigh tú! Tell me Patrick, what did you do to get “a lifelong ban from Ireland”? “Standing up for [your] human rights” was it? Hmmm, apparently you “feel deeply, deeply offended by the image of a negro woman from Africa standing there” …Yes, it is clear that you are a champion of human rights. Patrick, you wrote two ignorant posts. I don’t know the woman in the picture, but there is every possibility that she is more Irish than you are.

Another dishonest and hate-filled posting from a usual source, the poster styling himself kinvara. First, he is of course lying when he says "around 57 Irish people return to Ireland everday" (sic). No such statistic exists, indeed anyone who knows Ireland sees the claim for the absurdity that is now kinvara's trademark. What should be mentioned, however, is that statistics from the Irish government Central Statistics Office show that more than a hundred foreign migrants stream into Ireland every day. This fact, taken in conjunction with the departure of countless young Irish men and women from their homeland, accounts for the ethnosuicide that is currently under way in Ireland. The Irish as a distinct people have existed for centuries, but they now face the same fate that befell the Lakota Sioux and the Cherokee. Any American who may think I am scaremongering need only take a stroll around downtown Dublin and look at the faces and listen to the voices all around. It's Babel--not Ireland.

According to Herman Cain, if people do not have a job it is their own fault. Let them eat cake if they have no bread! Do not forget to thank the Big Banks/Wall Street for the world economy as we know it Saturday (Bank Transfer Day.) Especially the one that fired all its Irish employees.

Kinvara ... (100) 57 = (43).

You cannot forget the people who's paperwork has been falsified to get them off the statistics and someone reminded me that their are a fair amount of people who were self employed who are also not eligible for payments...............The unemployment figure is a lot higher than corrupt Irish Politicians want to reveal.

That was a very stupid and ignorant contribution Patrick. As regards the substance of the article, I think we need to avoid comparisons with the famine. That is an insult to the victims of that tragedy and we need to stop that nonsense; the Airbus an Irish person steps on is not a coffin ship. And while around 100 people emigrate everyday, the same statistics show that around 57 Irish people return to Ireland everday.
