Departure Day RTE program
Having heard some stuff about this program on the radio yesterday I watched it on the RTE player last night.
While anybody being forced to emigrate is sad, I'm not sure if the people participating were great examples. In fact I'm sure a lot of people were jealous of the lifestyle of the publicans son - he lives in luxury in his parents new home, picks up dole of €166 pw + as he admitted shifts in the pub/other work bringing his income to €300pw, spendings his time hunting and playing GAA. He was heading to Aus for a year, no different to thousands of other Irish over the 10/15 years - whats the problem?

Anyone know the name of the band whose music video was featured singing about their friends moving to Australia?
