The real reason for the fall is buried in the CSO document.

9,000 extra on courses, which cause them to not be included in the Live Register.

More like 5300 people have been cut off from their Dole!

rather unfortunate picture to use in the caption, Dole Q, right along side a hoarding surrounding a building site belonging to the now ill fated Mc Namara building company, Quite Ironic. Sad that such a small percentage drop in unemployment numbers gets headlines. I tend to agree the decline is more to do with emigration and a convenient no inclusion of these absurd Fas solutions such as Jobs Bridge which are nothing short of exploitation. I noted one such offering yesterday offering a wonderful opportunity in Bar management with the enticement of an additional 50 euro a week whilst maintaining welfare payments, O and almost forgot mentoring will be offered. Unless the successful applications live in the vicinity of this fine establishment, I doubt the 50 euro would cover half the traveling expenses. What unemployed people seek is meaningful solutions, opportunities, not slave labor and blatant exploitation which appear to be all that is on offer at FAS these days.

I am constantly looking for jobs
All I see is IT sector jobs and medical
Can’t get a job
Rarely get replies
I can see NO job creation at all
And I’ve been watching very closely
Government bullshit

“Emigration is the most likely explanation for the sustained fall in young people signing on.”
… Fair play to FFg/Labour, they had banked on at least 50,000 people leaving our shores every year in their program for government. I wish these parties would pull on the green jersey they keep harping on about and start doing what is right for the people of this country, instead of lining their own pockets and being the puppets for the ECB.

Also what about all the married people who don’t sign on because they have no stamps and will get nothing like me. Another 100000 I’d say. This government is a sad joke. A pathetic display of Euro sucking and people bashing. Sooner they are gone the sooner this country might be able to stand up for itself and tell the Eurocrats to get lost. Government By the people, Of the people, FUCK the people, that’s their motto. FF in FG/Lab clothing and as I always believed, they are all the same. Wankers.

and all your getting is this propaganda from our goverment with live register figures please let the CSO tell the truth and dont be buttering things up
over 12 months in power and have done nothing with job creation,and havent a clue how to.
all enda and the boys care about is keeping the germans happy

“The CSO said the number of under-25s had fallen on an annual basis every month since July 2010. Emigration is the most likely explanation for the sustained fall in young people signing on.”

If the Government even pretends to try and claim that the unemployment rates dropping are due to job creation (which they will), I’ll laugh up in their face.

3000 more emmigrants??

Presuming that those 3000 people emigrated, each of them is reckoned to cost about 250,000 up to the age of 21, in state and family costs. They represent a loss to Ireland of 660mn Euro’s in investment. So over 12 months that is nearly 8bn. Most of our deficit.

Emigration is a way of protecting the status quo in Ireland, making sure that there is little competition to the people running the show. It’s the mindset that had 2 FF delegates at their ard fheis sing cheerio cheerio to the people in the work expo que, who yelled at them that they should be ashamed of FF breaking the country. They aren’t, they are still so embedded in to the system that over priced contracts, jobs and perks will continue to flow to them and their friends. You do not like that, there is the boat Paddy.

More B.S. propaganda. If the numbers have fallen it is due only to emigration and citizens taking up internships and courses. The figures are a distortion of the truth just to give the impression jobs are being created. The facts are that jobs are being lost daily as a result of austerity and continued contraction of the domestic economy. This erosion of our society is likely to continue as long as the current government and eu policies are implemented without any form of stimulus. Even the IMF echoes this view. Granted there have been some real jobs created and this is to be welcomed, but it’s not enough to stem the downward spiral. I feel we just can’t continue on this path and expect a recovery. It just does not make sense. When is our government going to create the correct conditions for jobs to be created? Ummm!!!!!!! They are far removed from the reality on the ground I’m afraid.

I looked at the census last week . We have the highest rate of non nationals in the EU apart from Luxembourg and Latvia. We have 17 per cent non Iriah born. 30,000 people came into the state last year.

It was exactly like this in the UK which caused the BNP to rise. While FF allowed uncontrolled immigration during the good times.FG must tackle it in the bad. We can not have Irish people waving goodbye to
Their sons and daughters and 30,000 people moving here. It’s an outrage so I ACTUALLY SAT down this weekend and wrote a letter to six TD’s and Alan Shatter calling for tighter immigration control.

When the Australians heads into recession the Irish will be asked to leave.

If there is a specific skills shortage that immigrants are needed for. Fine. Bring them, put them on short term contracts and ensure universities and FETAC are providing the courses to fill the gap .

Now wait for it. The whole propaganda lies of oh we went around the world. Yes we did , but there were no welcoming committees and there certainly was zero state support. Irish people working in Aus are not entitled to medicare cards which is a gp card given to every Aussie. Even though the Irish pay tax.

The media and the government said immigrants were returning home. It’s been the opposite.

A more Informative figure wod be the number at work … But that would be an impossible spin to make the government optics …. But don’t worry the bankers are getting bonuses

Tax receipts up, unemployment down. Yayy, recessions over!

About the immigration thing u can go to any pub and ask for the CV’s and u will find more foreign CV’s than Irish and is not because we Work for less, is because a lot of young Irish fellas don’t want to work, and about losing jobs is not the fault of the immigrants, I used to work in a pub and the only foreigns was me and a girl from Latvia, the Entire staff were hard working Irish and we get sacked because of the new management and the day we get sacked I didn’t see foreigns closing the pub were Irish in a suit telling us to f#ck off, I pay taxes, I pay my own medical insurance I LOVE IRELAND and one thing that I always say, if we cannot vote how can we f#ck these country ? BUILD MORE HOSPITALS, CREATE MORE JOBS, SOCIAL WELFARE JUST FOR IRISH CITIZENS. Is a good start to ask to the government. so before we start moaning about immigration let’s work together for IRELAND as I said I’m not Irish but I love these land so let’s work for Ireland :) and have a good day

If you want true unemployment figures you have to count all of the people forced onto irrelevant fas courses and mature students. I reckon the true unemployment figure is closer to 1 million. Governments have used fas and college courses to dickie the numbers in their favour for years. It’s time people woke up to this.

Great contribution. Any chance people can stop waiting around for a magical government to sort things out overnight? Seriously, all this talk of last out turn out the lights bollox, and people being forced onto courses, play the system and use your intelligence to the best advantage. Everybody is in the shit, up to you and nobody else to grab a paddle.

Recession is over! Yay \o/

1 easy answer – All the unemployed are leaving the country

How many people emigrated out of curiosity? Bullshit!

Last out turn off the lights

What a country of moaners
