Kicking off a busy Friday in Tuam, Co Galway.

Wonderful visit to the Tuam men's shed this morning - a facility that has grown significantly over the years thanks to the hard work of so many volunteers.

35,000 young adults left Ireland in 2011. Annual emigration declined to below 20,000 by 2015, where it has stayed since. @CSOIreland figures show no upward trend.
Let's base national discussion on available evidence, not anecdote.

@jackwleahy Great news Jack. Congratulations.

[John O’Brennan @JohnOBrennan2]

An extraordinary figure from the @FT : the poorest 20 per cent cohort of Irish people have a standard of living which is 63 per cent higher than their counterparts in the U.K.
How much wider will the gap be when this ultra-Thatcherite U.K. government of Liz Truss is finished?

[Simon Nixon @Simon_Nixon]

Extraordinary stats. Britain rapidly becoming not just the sick man of Europe but the poor man too...

Some reaction to earlier tweet on tech services.

Worth highlighting the jobs numbers in the sector, which are quite extraordinary - almost 170,000 people directly employed, out of a total national population of 5.1 million.

[EU Commission in Ireland @eurireland]

We now need people to take jobs in the 🇪🇺 institutions, who have the language skills to get those jobs. If we don't we lose soft power. It's of immense importance that Ireland has sufficient numbers of people in the institutions at senior ranks: @BrigidLaffan at our #SOTEU event

Here's estimates from @CSOIreland of the migration trends of Irish nationals (the series begins in 2006). Shows annual figures for emigration, immigration and net migration of Irish nationals. The net migration position has been close to zero in recent years.

Can anyone please retweet so we can return bag and get my sisters bag back @Buseireann

[Business Post @businessposthq]

Despite the popular narrative among some doom-mongers, over the past five years more Irish nationals have returned to live here than have emigrated, while strong employment figures suggest the economy can weather any coming storm, writes @danobrien20. https://t.co/QkhZMhq0aC

[Tom O’Hanlon @TomOHanlon17]

The green Harp flag was the traditional flag of Ireland from the 1640s rebellion up until 1919

The Tricolour was adopted as the flag of the Irish republic in 1919 & by the Free State in 2022

If there was a vote, which would you choose?

Like = Harp flag
Retweet = Tricolour

This week's @businessposthq column looks at the quite incredible performance of the Irish labour market, including the number of people (both Irish and foreign) it is attracting from abroad.

[Dan O'Brien @danobrien20]

Ireland recorded the EU's 2nd highest rate of jobs growth over the pandemic period. This dynamism and resilience should help see the economy through the very difficult period to come - inflation, energy shortages, higher interest rates etc.

Waiting on youngest son’s LC results, he has applied to @nuigalway which we have no hope of accommodation for. My idea is to swap Digs with a LC @ucddublin applicant from Galway. Anyone interested DM me?

[Dan O'Brien @danobrien20]

Today's @CSOIreland figures show weekly earnings in the public sector at €1,036 and €821 in the private sector.

No sign in either case of second round inflation effects so far.
