Irelands unemployment to hit 14.4% by 2010
Discussion
How much more punishment do the Irish have to absorb before they withdraw from the Euro? With their budget deficit balloning and unemployment heading northwards, is the Euro just making a bad situation much worse?

Probably. Just like it probably made a good situation better for the last decade.http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/feedarticle/843...
I'll qualify that by saying I am not an economist.
Is it not just the case and forgive me for this but Ireland was the nearest thing to a third wor;d country in Europe a few years back and so all the call centre and paper jobs moved there.
Since the expansion of the EU these jobs have moved off to states that have taken the Irish crown.

Well, that would be Portugal. But sure, Ireland was in the lower tier a few decades ago.Since the expansion of the EU these jobs have moved off to states that have taken the Irish crown.
Not just Ireland. Bank of Spain forecasts nearly 20% unemployment there next year:

Independent economist says 20% minimum, and possibly up to 30%.

I've no idea who quoted it. I saw a figure of 3.3m unemployed (which I presume is 8% or there abouts.)
I think you must be referring to the UK as Eire population is only about 4 million.ianash said:
