Doug, I think you'll find that there has been a large and increasing amount of emigration of young people from Ireland to Britain, other European countries, and of course, the USA during the period you cite. Ireland is also a recipient of a relatively large per capita EC subsidies and aid of various kinds. But I don't have figures for either factor. Peter [EMAIL PROTECTED]
