I heard Ireland is in a 15 year boom. It came over OUT OF IRELAND TV to the USA about 6 months ago. Manufacturing job are gone from here too. The polish are only going home because there are jobs there now, I hear. It is like I was working out of town, living in my camper, there is work at home, I would go home, and get $5 more an hour, and live with the wife and kids. There is never any place like home. We all know that. Everyone must retrain,and find other work. It happen to me many times. I started as a carpenter with2 years credit because of wood shop in high school. Went to loading tv combo sets on and off railroad cars and trucks. Started as a electricans helper, laid off and started agoin as a app. electrican for 4 years, but out of work after 2 years. Worked in Mink farm, like your bacon factory, for 3 months. Finnaly went into the army trained again as a electrican for 6 months and ended up as a teacher in the electrican army course. Back to finish my traing, only because I was Irish, they are all german. to 45 hard good years. Keep on trucking. culater
