Kenneth Thomas analyzes the latest attempt to claim that Ireland is a success story — is this the third or the fourth time around? — and concludes that the modest fall in unemployment is all about emigration. Actually, we can reach the same conclusion by going straight to employment data (above).
This is not exactly a policy triumph.

Philip Austin Collins, nephew of Phil.
He could be the genesis of the whole operation.
Allegedly arranged the recruitment services of Melissa Reid and Michaella McCollum to smuggle drugs from Peru to Spain while in jail.
A police source told the Daily Mail:
“Officers have confirmed the link between the arrested women and the mafia allegedly led by Philip Austin Collins whose organisation tends to use drug mules from the UK.”
Meanwhile a spokesman for Uncle Phil Collins said:
“This has nothing to do with my client so there is no comment to be made.”
Oh.
