-----that there is a mass one-way exodus of Irish citizens, Irish nationals and young people from our country. The truth is different. For centuries, Irish people had to leave in huge numbers and did not come home. It is different now. Yes, 80,000 Irish citizens and Irish nationals, many of them young people, left in the past three years, but 90,000 came back. Why will Deputy McDonald never say that? It is because she does not want people to know the truth. She is the misleader, and she wants to get her way into office by creating a false impression about a better country and what it is like.
