Sir, – I was surprised to read Alan Barrett of the ESRI (“Emigration to fall as the economy improves”, Home News, December 25th, 26th & 27th) perpetrate a causal (indeed, maybe casual) relationship between a dubious improvement in the economy and a fall in emigration. The fall in emigration is more to do with the fact that the people who have emigrated up to now are our best skilled, motivated and responsible citizens, with fewer of these left to emigrate. –Yours , etc,
