Returning emigrants featured in The Dubliner
By admin | September 7, 2006
Returning emigrants are the subject of an article in the oft-controversial The Dubliner magazine. In an article entitled “Lame Geese”, reporter Angela Long details the experiences of several returning emigrants. She highlights particular difficulties in getting job searching, along with some culture shock as emigrants who left in pre-boom times come back to confront the rising materialism and pro-business culture. The reporter notes that all of the returnees she spoke with, however, had “resigned themselves to living in Ireland, warts and all”.
