Thats a very valid point. I spoke to a guy at Christmas ina small town in the midlands. He told me his son wanted to join the Irish army and was almost in when they told him that because of the economic downturn, there was afreeze on recruitment.
Now this man said his son was born to join the army,whatever that means.
So he went at Christmas and joined the Brithis army.He was excepted and the same week 50 other young lads from the republic were accepted to. Id say there is alot of Irish joining.
Their very foolish in my opinion.Maybe events in the North recently might stem the flow abit.
