Anecdotal Information on flight of the Natives.

In John Newman Park in Bohermeen last Saturday evening,the main topic of conversation,apart from the game ,was the fact that in Perth,Australia ,alone that night,there were sufficient numbers of recent emigrants and footballers from Cortown and Bohermeen (the one Parish) to field a full football team.This fact was given credence by a later conversation with a Ultans member who said that about half of last year's senior team had since emigrated.
If this bears out for the rest of the country,and I think it must,we have problems of the most critical nature emerging for the  very existence of Ireland and the viability of the State.
Instead of targetting tradesmen for shakedown of even more unjust taxes,as reports in the papers indicated the Revenue intended to do,we as a country should be trying to create the conditions which would encourage these irreplacable Irish people to stay here and take a part in the rebirth of our country.
Sad to report, the emerging consensus is that people are rapidly losing faith in the ability or even desire of the new government to even marginally improve the lot of the ordinary people.
In Dunderry there is no slow down in the modern day flight of the wild geese and broken hearted parents are all over the gaff.The government,still in trall to the pied pipers who led us blindfolded into the Euro nightmare  and the European experiment ,are refusing to even contemplate that our European partners are dishing out to us the same treatment that Saint Patrick was fed on Sliabh Mish.(i.e.we are modern day slaves and it is our own fault ).
Official Ireland is like a rabbit transfixed in the headlights of a car at night .It hasn't a clue what to do ,nor the courage to stand up for its people,either against home bred bureaucrats or foreign enforcers.
When you think of it ,weren't the 1916 rebels great people all the same.They were the first colonised race to take on the might of the Empire at the height of its power in the twentieth century and had more courage in their fingernails than all the huffed up revisionists so vociferous today have between them.
Would that it were possible to clone them and let them loose presently.Now there's a thought that brings me cheer.
