No...I left Dublin as a boy, with my family in 1967. Nothing in the intervening 46 years prepared me for the revelation of the size of the hole in my heart that remains. I was, for the most part, unaware of this extraordinary bond to the land of my birth, as I entered the Melbourne exhibition of "Leaving Dublin". It took only moments to realise that I recognised the place names, names that I hadn't heard uttered for decades, from around that fair city. Although much parodied, "you can take the boy or girl out of the country, but you can't take the country out of them".<br /><br />David, thank you for exposing the (somewhat painful) truth of mass emigration.

And yes David you are 'on the money', our masterful political submissives have chained the chain-ganged citizens that remain to the private debt of the gambling gombeens who wrecked our economy. And we continue to lose the ambitious, the able, the educated, that we need dearly here.Michaelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3299380205884288457.post-14947684501132393312013-02-11T17:00:29.275+00:002013-02-11T17:00:29.275+00:00Hey David,
