If good quality jobs are created in Europe, a problem for Ireland is that people will still want to go to the USA, Canada, New Zealand, Australia or the UK because English is spoken in those countries. We have a very poor education system in Ireland in terms of language skills. If we create jobs in Europe, can we ensure the Irish make a contribution within Europe instead of going the other English speaking countries?
