It is estimated that 70,000 young Irish people emigrated last year and this figure is set to increase this year. On Saturday, a festival called "Reclaim the City", focused on the massive unemployment figures in Ireland and criticized the government for what they called a "demoralizing situation for Ireland’s youth”. Cllr Richard Boyd-Barrett, from People Before Profit, told the crowd that the anger in Ireland and among the young people was huge. He called on the government to try and stop the mass emigration which has overtaken Ireland. Sinn Feins, Cllr Dessie Ellis asked for “greater action to be taken that will get people off dole queues and back into the workforce.”

At the end of the day emigration is not as bad these days as it used to be in the pastwith so many flights and ryanair etc it's easy pop home to say hello, not to mention Skype and all that video chat malarky etc. Lads we're a small country, it's good for our young people to get out and see the world. Hopefully they'll send home some money to help get our banks up and running again. Once that happens and NAMA works out and when the global recession turns around we'll be back on our feet flying high again and those emigrating will be able to come home and get on the property ladder no bother hopefully.
Cumann de Barra wrote: » The both of them should be in either prison or a mental asylum. The sooner people cop on, realise NAMA is the only game in town, Anglo had to be saved despite the moaning, stop the moaning, put the head down and show a bit of entrepreneurial spirit we'll start working our way out of this recession. All international finance magazines and economists praise the tough action this government has taken. The experts recognise that it was needed. The moaners on the likes of joe duffy and forums such as these need to put up and shut up. The government has done its part, now it's time for the people to stand up and be counted - cut out this feckin moaning, get positive and help out in their business, places of work, communities, schools etc. grab a shovel lads and we'll be out of this in no time.

Some people are quoting the 80's but I think the 1950's is possibly a better comparison. At least then Lemass and co. were trying to get the country moving, but the present situation has been assisted by government incompetence at best. The Humpty Dumpty economy was pushed off the wall, so sorry - no medals for trying to put it back together again. The shovel analogy is just great - you can shovel massive debt around all you like, but that won't make it disappear.
