Irish in Australia: Will you stay or return to Ireland?

The Irish Times is travelling to Australia next week to meet Irish people living in Perth and Sydney.

We will be hosting two focus groups to discuss the big question of the moment for a lot of emigrants: to stay abroad, or return to Ireland?

We are looking for Irish people from diverse occupations, backgrounds and age groups to take part. Participants must be willing for their names to be used in any resulting articles, and to have their photograph taken.

The first focus group will take place in Perth next Saturday afternoon, April 30th. The second will be held in Sydney, with the date to be confirmed.

If you are interested in taking part, please email Ciara Kenny at emigration@irishtimes.com with Australia Focus Group in the subject line, telling us a little about yourself, and your thoughts on returning home or staying in Australia.

Ciara will also be meeting people individually, so if you think you have a good story to tell about life Down Under, please let us know using the same email address.
