IT

Ireland - the final frontier - to boldly go where no man has gone before. The policy of the president to invest heavily in education and youth over the years 1980 to 2010 is proving to be very useful. It meant that the young people of Ireland proved to be more articulate than average counterparts elsewhere in the eurozone with tightfisted governments spawning xenophobic regimes. It has meant that the island at the edge of Europe away from the main events and the big action centres is rising like a phoenix and will soon be the international maestro de facto of a large IT empire - Ireland at the centre of a new restored IT commonwealth. The prospects for the island look rosier and rosier. And now with young people exported around the world and working in lots of advanced IT companies, the great Irish strength and virtue of articulation and communication with a plethora of language skills for the internet age is proving decisive - it is driving Ireland along way forward and way ahead of all old fashioned pre-internet countries. Ireland - a new eurozone silica valley.
