TBH half the reason I wouldn't want to go to Australia is because of the type of Irish person who emigrates there.
Because you don't like poor people? 😉
I dunno, I'm assuming most are not skilled labour, because most I see are working cafés or pubs. I work with a nice bloke from Limerick now though.
The sheer scale of the recent Irish influx is impressive, in that it's actually noticeable.

It was the dumping ground for Irish rebels British convicts, Jews, peasants from Greece and Italy fleeing war ravaged Europe, and more recently refugees from Vietnam and economic migrants from China and Indian, people who nobody wanted.
Funny thing is that we're created the most stable tolerant prosperous society on Earth.
Everyones welcome.... except the aborigines.
Our national shame is the life expectancy gap between indigenous people and everyone else … still 17 years
