Irish heading Down Under may not find their promised land is the headline on my article in today's Irish Times. http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/worl d/2009/0103/1230842388445.html | ||

Thanks for this Padraig. Any comments from the Aussie semi old-timers? In the US right now we seem to be looking down into an abyss. | ||

Your numbers are right Padraig, working in the banking world myself there has been cuts in staffing numbers of the 'four pillars'. The advent of back office admin in India has increased for all 'four'. Look I feel anyone coming to Australia to settle still has wonderful opportunities. Sure there is caution as we enter 09, however in the long term our reserves,optimism and will to succeed will overcome.More importantly we embrace new settlers, bring 'em on. | ||

Thanks for reading it lads. There was much more I wanted to mention in it Charles but there just wasn't room for everything. | ||

Great article, Padraig. I hadn't realized Australia had thus far weathered the downturn so well. I did know things are tough in Ireland, though, and that's a shame. They were quite the Cinderella story for a while. |
