As the Minister pointed out, many young people leave the country for one, two or three years to gain new skills and experience or develop language skills and then return home. That is a positive development which should be welcomed. However, we have arrived at a new definition of what the nation is about, which is also a positive development. The notion was that to be Irish, one had to be living in Ireland and it held sway for 70 or 80 years but since a new settlement was negotiated under the Good Friday Agreement, a new understanding has been reached about who are the Irish. The Irish are not only those who are resident in this jurisdiction or in Northern Ireland but also include the diaspora, who have been greatly helped by our past two Presidents. The diaspora still have links to Ireland. They are proud of the country and help it in as many ways as possible. The Government must recognise and develop those links. As John Hume said on countless occasions in the past, if we manage together as a people to develop the goodwill and support for Ireland abroad, there will be tremendous opportunities for the State.
