Ever since the potato famine, Ireland has exported a lot of it’s citizens. All that changed during the economic boom of 1995-2007 (called the “Celtic Tiger”), but now we’re going back. Ireland now has an unemployment rate around 14% and an economy broken to the point that we’ve asked the EU and IMF to bail us out. And with less goods to export, we’re turning back to exporting people – according to the Irish Examiner, one third of 18 and 24 year olds and a quarter of 25-34 year olds are planning to emigrate in the next 12 months, many of whom simply “see no future here”. With the recent scandals in the Catholic Church and now the failure of the economy, many in Ireland are left wondering who they can trust, but Psalm 118:8-9 has the answer: “It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man. It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in princes.”
