Ireland ended its dependence on bailout loans last weekend, the first euro zone country to do so. As eurocrats in Brussels celebrated the Irish success story, leaders in Dublin declared that unemployment was finally dropping, especially for young people. But the drop has more to do with the exodus of Irish people in their 20s and 30s. Piaras MacEinri, a migration expert at University College Cork says more than 70 percent of people who have left Ireland since 2006 are in their 20s.[/quote] So basically, the Irish are leaving Ireland again. Sweet.
Not really surprising. I personally know quite a few irish people who have PHDs from Irish universities leaving because there's nothing keeping them there.
At-least it isn't because of a famine this time.
I'm sure we have the same problem here in the UK, and to be honest who can blame people? As much as I like being a part of this country, there is just so little here for young people past education.
My American Government professor was an Irish immigrant. Left Ireland when he was 17.
fuck off, we're full
There is a chap down my street who left Ireland to live in England. That was back in the days where pubs would say 'No dogs' 'No Blacks' 'No Irish' though, I can imagine it was a rough road.
[QUOTE=Dr.C;43264632]fuck off, we're full[/QUOTE] Since when were nation-states relevant?
[QUOTE=Dr.C;43264632]fuck off, we're full[/QUOTE] This Monday I went to the Ellis Island immigration museum and discovered so many things about how America became what it is thanks to its acceptance of other people. It was very interesting.
[QUOTE=Dr.C;43264632]fuck off, we're full[/QUOTE] of shit
[QUOTE=Dr.C;43264632]fuck off, we're full[/QUOTE] what makes you think there all/alot going to the USA.?
[QUOTE=Dr.C;43264632]fuck off, we're full[/QUOTE] As if anyone with an education would want to go to america with Canada right there.
[QUOTE=Chickens!;43264998]As if anyone with an education would want to go to america[/QUOTE] Actually....With their education, they'd get decent paying jobs.
[QUOTE=Swilly;43265049]Actually....With their education, they'd get decent paying jobs.[/QUOTE] Yep. Software developers in the UK get the short end of the stick.
[QUOTE=Dr.C;43264632]fuck off, we're full[/QUOTE] Maybe you should leave and make some room then.
[QUOTE=Dr.C;43264632]fuck off, we're full[/QUOTE] i will take thjis post seriously like everyone else in thread
[QUOTE=Swilly;43265049]Actually....With their education, they'd get decent paying jobs.[/QUOTE] Although only in Silicon valley and similar.
[QUOTE=HybridTheroy;43265101]i will take thjis post seriously like everyone else in thread[/QUOTE] Well it is terribly hypocritical to say that a country built by immigrants is somehow "full" now
[QUOTE=O Cheerios O;43265105]Although only in Silicon valley and similar.[/QUOTE] Not really, average STEM salary is higher than European countries. I know a few german, french and dutch engineers who have moved to NA for this very reason.
[QUOTE=Dr.C;43264632]fuck off, we're full[/QUOTE] Full? Have you ever even [I]been[/I] to Wyoming? Or Idaho? [I][B]There's nobody there at all...[/B][/I]
[QUOTE=Medevila;43265422]I shed a tear every time someone suggests immigration hurts the United States[/QUOTE] I'm so sorry for your eyesight since your eyes are always covered in tears
[QUOTE=Medevila;43265422]I shed a tear every time someone suggests immigration hurts the United States[/QUOTE] You must cry a lot.
[QUOTE=Medevila;43265495]Idc if you mock my condition as long as you're not dumb enough to suggest immigration is a negative influence[/QUOTE] What if I do it just to make you cry?

Yes come to the USA and buy our houses, bring the market back.
I want to get OUT of the US for a better life.
[QUOTE=Mysterious;43267315]I want to get OUT of the US for a better life.[/QUOTE] Well unless you have in demand skills that's going to be a toughie.
[QUOTE=Mysterious;43267315]I want to get OUT of the US for a better life.[/QUOTE] Well tbh most Irish emigrants are going to Australia rather than the US
