Generation Emigration has received a huge variety of emails offering contributions already – from teachers and construction workers, IT professionals, engineers, bar staff, photographers and accountants, living in countries spanning all five continents. It seems many of you have been waiting for an opportunity to share your views, and we hope this blog will allow you to do so.

If we haven’t responded to your email yet, don’t worry, we’ll get to it soon.

Keep the comments, suggestions and stories coming – we want to know what you want to read about. Email emigration@irishtimes.com.
