I was born and raised in Galway and return to Eire to visit with my family every two years so I can give you a few facts, not statistics. Poverty exists in Eire and it always will. I visited Dublin recently and the Yuppie lifestyle is evident and there are high paying jobs for professionals whose salaries are in the range of some Hollywood stars. There are other workers who are still toiling for well below average wages. Oh by the way to report a government satistic, or midnight cowshit, from the Irish Times the six (and + )digit salaries and the low wages computed provide the average earnings, which are lower than the Hollywood stars' but higher than the Plant managers. That is how Eire defeats poverty if you ignore the beggars on the street. By the way is this the same Bob Ray who asked workers to work one day a week for less pay? Is this the same Bob Ray who along with Dave Christorferson(? spell) now peddling in Ottawa and Richard Allen who helped to drive Ontario's economy and Steelworker's pensions into the ground. Ray is a politician running for office in another party from Dave boy and will say anything to get back on the gravy train. By the way, we have leprechauns in Eire, lepricorns sounds like something you can find at an organic food store.
