"we wont have to suffer the crying and complaining from the returned emigrants, as we did from the 80s crowd." if it was not for those same emigrants returning and being asked to return by the Government and firms there would not have been a Celtic tiger, i can remember job fares in set up in New York, Boston, and other U.S cities, as well as in London, Manchester, Liverpool, and Europe asking Irish people who had left Ireland to return as the economy needed them to help it grow, in this global recession we dont need nor do we want bigoted comments like yours, if any of those emigrants did complain it was to make life better and fairer for everyone else.Many people left to get a better standard of life for themselves and their children, and many left to get away from small town bigot mentality like yours, there is no silverlining in this recession it will being long and hard and the cuts will go deep in every country, i am appalled you could put such a stupid bigoted post up, but there again can you blame people for leaving Ireland with a small minority of people like you, thank God selective breeding keeps your population down
