Dr. Anthony Breslin:

It is very difficult for us to compete with everything there. Young people nowadays tend to have wanderlust. They want to travel and get experience. As previous speakers have said, some of them go abroad for a number of years then come back and start training here. That might have been the intention of others but once they go abroad, they stay abroad. The same thing applies to the UK. People are going to Australia, Canada etc. That is a common issue for a number of EU countries.
