So, the unemployment rate in the country has fallen in September for the first time since the start of the year which is good news certainly. The only problem I have with it , though, is the lack of depth in the information . Obviously a lot of the reduction could have to do with seasonal factors, like students returning to college or, possibly, claiments emigrating but we don't really know. It is pure speculation unless the CSO gives us an exact breakdown. Still lets be positive 5,400 workers could have retired or emigrated leaving positions to be filled by the unemployed. It does happen.
But in this time of chassis the local media seems to be far more concerned about an election to find which person should shake the hands of sports teams, and visiting dignitaries. If we need somebody to represent the country , without any effective legislative power , then it should be a beauty contest . We really must have somebody in the country more pulchritudinous than the candidates presented. I bet if one of the Corrs got the job we would have a lot more people willing to visit our shores.
And in this time of trouble, when our confidence has be crushed, it is inspiring to witness our rugby team demonstrating just what we can do. Even the Wall Street Journal took notice.
