I welcome the professor to the House. This debate is particularly relevant to me because young people under 25 years are my peer group. I am very aware of people my age, friends, family, colleagues from college and school, who are unemployed or have been forced to emigrate. Senator Healy Eames quoted an Irish writer. I would like to quote another one, W.B. Yeats, who wrote, "That is no country for old men".
