If even the gutter-jobs, hell if even construction jobs are tight then what is there? Is the Irish job market that satiated? Going to Ireland and not finding a job or trade would feel like adding to a problem. Still, gotta go somewhere, Ireland's as good as any other British isle but I can't help but feel like a two-bit bastard.
