I remember when I was a lowly undergraduate, watching people going to Ireland, when it was the only place, where you could cut your teeth, to get the experience, to get a job here.
If you find yourself happy there, then you stay.
There was also the major loss of field staff to Ireland again, when Heathrow T5's major works finished, which meant that, there was again a gluttony of staff and not enough jobs to float them. So they when to where the work was again.
Sounds like the establishment, used to pushing people from pillar to post, through protectionism.
The Irish Archaeological economy may also be in the same boat, so expect a doubling effect on the field unemployed and so on.......
