According to the RTE news 300,000 Irish people have emigrated between 2009 and 2013 and over one quarter of Irish households have seen a close family member emigrate in the past two years. I personally know three Irish families that have left this country for better work in the last four years, one of these families went to Boston in America and the other two traveled to Sydney, Australia for a more stable future. The reason these Irish families left was because the lack of jobs available here in Ireland this is due to the recession( a period of temporary economic decline during which trade and industrial activity are reduced) that we were under going at that time.
Seeing close family members leaving is can be difficult that is way I hope more Irish job opportunities are created in the near future so the Irish youth don't feel it is necessary to emigrate or at least feel they have more of an option.
