Neither of them could find work in their field in Ireland after qualifying. This is from a small village in West Cork. I know from friends that there are many more, already gone or about to go. Sad really.

Sad indeed. It is a sign of the times that there are jobs in Ireland. I have a cousin and friend that both emigrated to Australia. They both got jobs within a month of emigrating. Currently the unemployment rates are 5% in Australia and 15% in Ireland respectively. Ireland is now experiencing the same brain drain it did in the 1980's as many young graduates leave in search of employment. The sad thing is that when many of their 2 year visas expire and they return home, they will not be eligible to claim social welfare in Ireland due to the Habitual Residence Condition.

Is all is left is a few overly educated "experts" and a few plastic paddies. The shame of it. How will it end?

We don't need a dole scrounger who has adopted Dundalk. Your sole aim in life is to claim dole.

Why don't you go back to England as you are not a Paddy.

You are a scrounger - simple as.

32 years in London makes you English - cop on to it.

Just a little reminder, lets be civil to other members. It's ok to disagree but let's not get personal. It's not what this forum is all about.
