Tiny Coastal Village, Irish Migrants

Global Financial Crisis Deptt: No potato famine or decades long political conflict drove him here. Like the many Irish migrants who arrived years before, Seamus Blake left his tiny coastal village in Ireland five weeks ago in search of greener pastures in Toronto. Instead, a steady influx of young Irishmen and women like Blake, 24, is arriving here in desperate search of work, fleeing their country s 14 per cent jobless rate, an after effect of the 2008 global financial crisis and economic recession. As reported in the news.
