They were probably robbing the cattle from the Tilsons. The important issue is the type of work that is available. Is there a welcome there for the Irish? In some countries there was criticism that the number of our young people going there was dragging down the skills set because people were working for lower rates. Is there any tension in that regard in Canada? Where are the emigrants going and is work and accommodation available in those areas? Have there been difficulties with any of the young people who have gone there among the recent group of emigrants from Ireland?

I again thank Canada for the help and support it gave to the Irish peace process. Its role in that process is really appreciated by the Irish people.
