I agree with the Minister that there is a focus in the task force report on the changing patterns of emigration from the 1940s through to the present. The Minister correctly pointed out that the 20,000 leaving this country are leaving in far different circumstances from those in which I left. I was an emigrant. I took the infamous mailboat as a seventeen and a half year old innocent abroad, who left the wilds of Leitrim for London where I spent seven years and was involved in a variety of emigrant organisations, but, like many others, I was primarily there to get a job because I could not get one here.
