I moved here from America (with my wife and kids) in March.  On 5 
October, I was made redundant, and a company of 10 last Summer is now a 
company of 2.  My previous employers are in America, and the state of 
things there make us not want to return right now.  It is particularly 
difficult for me because you Irish take care of your own first, and 
places like Cable Wireless Ireland are bold enough to say "We are going 
to hire an Irish person!"  It is amazing that I get any interviews at 
all.
