Kate Meredith holds her tears with difficulty and takes one last look at his son, Darren, as he moves into the area reserved for departures in Dublin Airport. Like him, thousands of Irish people leave the island, fleeing the crisis to 'better areas'. Darragh, 22, has chosen South Korea, where it has already found a place to practice teaching, which could not do in their homeland.
His brother, Conor, is already installed in Australia and another brother, Bryan, is calibrating the possibility of going to Canada. "I have nothing left here," says his mother, wiping away tears. "Darren could not even find a job as a volunteer. It's horrible." According to a research institute ESRI are thousands of people who, every week, out of Ireland.
Many of them are immigrants from Eastern Europe who arrived in the island attracted by the mirage of great growth that the country faced the world with its reputation for "Celtic Tiger", are now forced to return home due to crisis . Ireland definitely thought he had forgotten the days when their children were leaving because of poverty, as in the tragic famine of the mid-nineteenth century.
One million of them went to the United States in the so-called 'coffin ships', and the mortality rate on board reached 30%. With the exponential growth of the 90 had been reversed: Ireland had become an immigration country and no longer in a place from which to migrate. But the historical recession of 2008 did a new record unemployment (nearly 14%).
Bobby Prendeville, 24, an electrician, has decided to try his luck in Germany. There is work ahead. "I am the last. All my friends are gone, most to Australia or Canada. "It's not so easy to leave, but I have no choice. There is nothing here." "Since last January, the flow of people does not stop," said Kathleen Lucey, Australia visa consultant.
"I have the impression that the whole world has woken up in the New Year with the intention of leaving." At Dublin Airport, Bryan Meredith, 24, sees his future with the same spirit as has his brother Darragh. "Probably, I will be next."
