Youth Perspective In the last fifteen to twenty years, two new phenomena have finally reached Ireland –Immigration and alongside it - Racism. This is not to say that we Irish never had our prejudices before the ‘blacks’ arrived, back then we were quite happy directing our bigotry and ignorance towards travellers, gays, Jews and Protestants. This all changed in the early 1990s, when Ireland experienced a major economic boost, wages increased, more jobs were created… the so called Celtic Tiger had arrived. With this development, immigration figures into Ireland rose, young men and women from poor or developing economies looked to Ireland as a chance for a decent job and a better life; much as we looked to England and the U.S.A and countless other countries when in the 1840s, 1950s and 1980s we in our hundreds of thousands went all over the world looking for employment. It is ironic and sad that some people not only do not realise this, others completely ignore it and still have this uneducated view that immigrants are ‘coming over here and taking our jobs’. |
