    These people have turned their backs on Ireland and its values.

    Joe.

    what values, Ireland has none left. They went out the window to be replaced by greed and self-centerism during the celtic tiger years

    To be fair, much of the difference during the Tasmanian Tiger years was just that more people had money/credit.

    Yeah it was far better when teenage girls were all sent to England to have their kids and give them up for adoption. Ah the good old days.

    I throw my hats off to them for having the courage to do so! The furthest I'd go be the UK and I'm still not willing to leave Ireland! Too much of a home bird!

    I was questioning the capability of Ireland being able to deliver a "nolidj" economy. It reeks of a PR buzzword.

    Irish Times reading liberal rubbish. Look at all the roads that have been built. You can drive from Dublin to Limerick in 2 hours. It took twice that time in the 80s.

    The only reason they improved the roads, was to make it easier for people to get to the docks and the airports, so that they could feck off pronto when everything turned to sh1t.

    Not much of an article

    The event was called Reclaim the City and the article doesn't even show where it happens or if it happened in all cities in Ireland

    Emigration is set to Rise once again!

    Latest figures show that 92,000 Irish people under the age of 25 are unemployed. 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.
    Richard Boyd Barrett is a nutter and you claim the young of Ireland being forced to move abroad is'nt a bad thing. Right.

    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.

    Heartily sick of this continuing spin. All the more sickening is the number of people who now face involuntary emigration. 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. :(

    Excellent point steamengine. The mess that this current Government(Lol) has created has left a financial burdon to which this generation and many more, paying from the cradle to grave. It's either work your ass off for peanuts or emigrate. Take your pick. :(

    I see 'Won it on the horses' Ahern is posting on Boards now.

    Thought he'd be in some other basketcase banana Republic making his speech called, I kid you not, Prime Minister as CEO.

    +1....you see Faith+1 - what these spin merchants have failed to grasp is that people are angry. People these days can see through the spin, they are sick of the crap, the ever increasing debt figures being extracted like teeth being pulled without an anaesthetic. But the most severe pain is invisible to the cosseted middle class Irish at home. Its the suffering caused by involuntary emigration - people now paying a heavy price for the gross mistakes of others. :(

    Bertie brought peace to the north. In fact it was only when the liberal media forced him out that we entered recession. I hope the Irish Times pinkos are happy now.
