Irlanda es un país que tiene una historia de emigración, y ahora mucha gente tiene que salir otra vez gracias al desempleo.
Ireland is a country which has a history of emigration, and now many people have to leave again thanks to unemployment.
( I just want to point out, in case the chart misleads anyone, that during the boom we had a labour shortage which was hampering Ireland's growth, and we were helped hugely by the number of hard working immigrants who came here. The severity of the crisis was primarily related to the worldwide recession as well as the mistakes of the banks, who gave out unsecured loans to builders and developers and lost all our money so the government had to bail them out. I think that if I didn't give this information, and an uninformed person saw the chart, they might mistake correlation for causation! )
