This week, RTE screened a follow up to the excellent but depressing documentary on a snapshot of people having to leave Ireland. Link: Arrivals
As I was part of the quarter of a million who left Ireland in the 80's, it struck a strong cord for me.
Generally speaking the people who are leaving are the people we need to stay. The fact that it is acceptable in 21st century for people from this island to become exiles reflects very serious issues.
Not alone is it not acceptable but it would be for me a critical benchmark in the context of a National State of Emergency & National Government of Unity as a solution to moveing forward. Please see my earlier blogs on election.
