Many of our best being forced to leave, while in the other half of the RDS, the worst in our country are quaffing pints all day, and talking about how great FF are, and how they need to be back in power.

2 of the delegates were singing “Cheerio Cheerio” to the people at the expo after some one shouted that FF should be ashamed of themselves.

They truly are a party with no redeeming features.

Im going to Canada hopefully. I was already in the advanced stage before this expo. I have tried to start up my business 3 times since it closed 2 years ago. I have 4 kids so I wont see much of them. This is the best this country has to offer so its time to go. I want to stay here employ people but its impossible. I hope I can make it abroad.

While it’s very sad to see I wish good luck to each and every one of those looking to leave. Hopefully their skills and qualifications will gain them the recognition they deserve abroad. It’s shameful that this has been, and is still seen, by successive governments as a legitimate,acceptable part of the solution to our economic problems. I never thought I’d say this but I’m almost sorry I came back here myself because fu€k all has changed.

Fair play to the organisers for creating the event in the first place, but I think they should have made this a week-long event in order to meet the demand.

Micheal Martin should parade Bertie up and down the queue and make him apologise to each one of the men and women queuing there.

According to so called politicians there is no forced emigration. Its a lifestyle choice.

More like people desperate to be recognised as human beings and allowed to work in a decent job and earn the the respect they deserve. Something no so called Irish Government has ever done for the people.

Wonder will Rte news ignore this again tonight like they did last night

So very sad, this country will lose so much bright young talent! Very best of luck to them all.

Scarey.

Very sad, ironic who are next door !

So sad to see so many people wanting to leave the country and families! If I could I would too. We his a ice berg on this sinking ship

Lets get Ireland working, eh? 8)

This is what the government wants huge numbers leaving then tell us all the bills are coming down thanks to our policies wankers the lot if them

There’s the evidence of FG & Labours ‘Lifestyle Choice’.

People who would rather spend a day in the Damp weather than live a life of luxury on the dole.

Two years im in London now ,,,, every week more and more coming over it’s getting harder to find work here ,,,,, it’s so sad to thing that this is the second time iv done this once in 1988 and again in 2009 ,,, shame on you FF ,,FG labour shame on you

My son attended yesterday, he is a young engineer with about 18 months experience, let go from contract job, he said anyone he spoke to was not accepting cv’s! Told him to apply online, what’s that about!! I asked this question on another thread…did anyone have a better outcome???

Pity we couldn’t ship all those FF folks to another to country to do hard labour in the mountains. Any coal mines we could send them to.

Sorry but was at this Work Abroad Expo yesterday and found it the greatest waste of time, money and effort involved. Was there at 10.00a.m. yesterday morning and didn’t get into the building itself till 11.25. Paid 10 euro, which was a waste of money. Think it is really bad that you had to pay so much for something, which you go to in the vain hope of getting a job out off. Went from stand to stand, crammed full of people, queued again and again to talk to people in question, only to be given a business card or leaflet and told to upload my cv onto their website and go from there. Hello? I paid 10 euro to hear that? What was more, it was incredibly badly organised. Too small a venue for so much people. You couldn’t tell the recruiting agencies from the actual employment companies. All the immigration stands should have been together, all the recruitment agencies should have been together, etc. One representative of a building company I approached was so hung over from the night before, his eyes were bloodshot and all he could utter was; ‘here’s a leaflet, email me your cv’. Then the agenices and companies were so not in touch with the different professions in their own industry. ‘You do what?’ ‘What’s that?’ The best one yet was when I approached a construction company, sat with an employer and was told; ‘I am so amazed at how much industrial experience ‘you people’ have’. Our tourist board has something to answer for there. This guy thought we still lived in thatched cottages and hearded sheep along a road for a living. Then he asks ‘Have you had any industrial building experience yourself’? Which I reply ‘yes’ to. Then he says ‘any experience in building industrial buildings for mining companies’? ‘No, unfortunately not’. ‘Ah that’s a pity’ he says. ‘Well I say we wouldn’t have a huge mining history here in Ireland’….. Doh! So I am sorry if I am ranting, but I came away knowing as much about emigrating to work abroad as I knew before entering the expo. What a complete waste of time, money etc.

A very sad state of affairs!
Ironic that some the culprits that might have caused them to attend, was just around the corner at their own self slap on the back, function!

Desperate times!
Desperate queues!

It’s a sorry sight to see so many queuing up to leave the country.

It’s a very sad news:( once I was in their shooes, good luck to all of them!

Physicians will always find work .Most of the people in that expo wont be getting 500 thousand a yr job or the 55thou relocation fee.10 euro entry fee should be reimbursed if the dont get a job.

That expo is an utter waste of time.
Unless your qualified with degrees coming out of your ears and have 10grand in the bank your throwing a tenner down the drain

Shame…

Although forced, All the best to those looking to broaden your horizons.. I hope it comes to some good.

If you see the others attending the RDS! Throw some eggs at Cowan if you see him. They need to wake up from the happy dream they are in….

Well you can forget economic recovery while the population is declining , when these people leave (and many may never return) there will be even less demand for houses , cars , food ect.
EVERY Irish politician should hang their heads in shame.

you can bet a certain politician is rubbing his hands here seen so many people wanting/have no choice to leave ireland….

Tragic. :(

This is absolutely disgusting! So much for jobs in 1st 100 days of power for fg and labour, what day are we on now?300? #lies #sameoldstory

The people who are leaving have skills needed by this country – if we’re ever to recover. That said, I can’t blame anyone who decides to go. Doesn’t look like there’s going to be any real change in Ireland. It’s ironic that the FF scumbags were in the RDS at the same time. Shame on them singing “cheerio cheerio”.

Irish Government policy.

Train them up.
And
Ship them out.

Because our government of school teachers and gombeens think it is too much bother to allow them to make a living in their own country.

In this day and age in Western Europe these images are Third World.

Sweat pants, old hoodies, un-tucked shirts, greasy hair… Are they lining up outside a takeaway or meeting prospective employers…

Scary to see all who wants to work are leaving where they can work and we are left with the spongers

It’s not too much unlike the dole lines around any town across the country. In roscrea they had to widen the path outside the post office as it was considered a health hazard due to the lines! incredible …….extend the path but do nothing to the lines?? The dole is a hard, hartless and soleless place for way too many of our young people …but yet the indo would make you think it was the life of reilly!

Helena,your hubby will get work soon.He did not get this far for nothing.Good Luck.

I’d wonder how many of those queuing were skilled and employed? Why stay and shoulder extra taxes/wage cuts etc, not to mention the general societal gloom when your able to piss of for a few somewhere sunny?

20 years ago I remember the Irish newspapers running ad’s for companies claiming to get you high paid construction work in Kuwait to rebuild after the war.

You had to send them a fiver for an information pack.

And generally the information pack is all that you got.

€10 x 10,000 people = a Million Euro

Alright for a couple of days work.

Our government(s) have betrayed these kids.

And now they have deemed them surplus to requirements.

And have put them up for adoption.

Narrow minded thinking from our sheltered ”great leaders”

‘son’ !

it does not look like there are many of the so called new irish those queues

It’s only a shame that the FF crowd next door weren’t the ones leaving. The most sad thing of all is that they’ll most likely be back in power within 10 years. Still, a country gets the government it deserves. Good luck to all hearing off. I can’t say I’m not envious.

*heading* Bloody phone :-)

This is really a sad sight to see, so many people in a Q wanting to leave Ireland.. It really brings home just how bad it is here.. All I can say is who ever is the last one out turn off the light.

The measure of any nation is how well it provides for its people , and since the day Ireland became independent it has consistently failed its people , with the exception of the elite few.

Was it just Australian and Canadian recruiters at this?

should have been there at 9.30 like me idiots…

Ok. We all know of the Irish leaving. But are Canada and Australia opening their doors to Polish ,Indian,Nigerian and other workers who have lived in Ireland and by now are mostly fluent in English?? Or is it just Irish they are seeking to bring over from Ireland

My point exactly albeit more eloquently put :P
