    Hi.. more or less a serious question. I opened a thread in the 'Irish economy' thread earlier this evening which in my opinion attempted to address what may be a valid problem in Irish society at the moment. I did not suggest an answer, merely solicited debate on the matter.
    The thread was closed by a moderator who added what I can only term derogative remarks to the thread..
    I have included the opening post below for you to draw your own conclusions. Is this censorship typical of the mindset that pervades elements of Irish society and which has I believe contributed to many of the problems that we now face.. I'm particularly reminded of Bertie Ahearn's comments that anyone who disagreed with a particular outlook on the Irish economy as proposed by segments who stood to benefit should commit suicide..


    Possible discrimination against Irish job applicants?
    I am beginning to wonder if there is a bias against Irish applicants for jobs, especially at or around minimum wage level.
    Having spoken to acquaintances who had been looking for both part-time and full time work, I had to concede that it was possible. Now, having applied for close to a hundred positions for which I am, in my opinion , suitable and having received only one reply and that to say I'd been unsuccessful I have to concede that it is more than possible.
    I have applied for jobs in which I have experience, relevent qualifications and excellent references and yet not one employer has been interested. It may be worth noting that most employees at this level in these companies are non-nationals, often non-EU nationals who I assume must require work permits.
    I have submitted C.V.s which include all my experience and educational level etc and also more basic C.V.s which documented only basic relevent information.. so.. any thoughts?

    The PC rulebook must always be strictly adhered to on boards. Anything remotely of line will be shut down.

    People not understanding the word 'stymy' might stymy the debate.
