    On the graduate front, there really is a mixed message as what's going on, the obvious emigrants are those with construction, business(maybe) and public sector(education/nursing) qualifications emigrating but outside of these areas is it really that hard to find a job? Are the recently qualified really emigrating outside of these areas? I do not know any recent graduates in real life but on threads on boards, some seem to find a job no problem(thank zod for MNC's :)) and some don't.

    I'm a graduate and I graduated in none of the above, I chose Electronics and then went on to Specialise in IC Design, only 3 out of my whole course got jobs and I am one, another got a job in Ireland and the 3rd guy started in the company I work for a month ago. I had to emigrate as there were no opportunities in Ireland, I applied to thousands of jobs and got the same reply every time. I got lucky through a recruitment agency in Ireland that had contacts in Holland.

    I heard Alison O'Riordan is leaving for better oppurtunities overseas. It's truly the best and the brightest of the young generation who leave. Her skills as a journalist made all the other journalists green with envy!

    This is the muppet who bought a massively overpriced aparement near Grand Canal Dock (which has since declined in value drastically) who we're supposed to feel sorry for?

    Do some folk genuinely consider moving to the UK to be emigrating??

    I can actually get to Oxford St in London quicker from my home in Clare via Shannon, than I can get from my gaff to Belfield via Bus Eireann.

    There's probably more cultural differences for South Dubliners moving to Donegal or Wexford town than moving to London
    I agree. The way some people on here are bleating on about it, you'd think they were moving to the moon or something.

    Better working abroad than staying here working for free on a FAS WPP scheme
