Situation shows that many new unskilled EU citizens are taking up an employments. What will happend in near future, when irish labour market will be suffered from lack of highly skilled and educated people?

I would like to get an answers on this questions.

If we speak strictly of unskilled labour influx from the new EU countries, evidently the unskilled market will saturate and eventually people will stop moving in, as they wouldn't be able to support themselves. As it often happens, some "unskilled" people will be successful in their attempt to get employment a notch higher then their skills position them, strictly speaking -- that might lead to lower pay levels in those position categories, which is somewhat unfortunate for the individual workers and their family, but healthy for the national economy, as was shown by giants like Motorola and others opening their production and other facilities in Ireland.

If the new immigrant labour wave will not bring highly educated people with it, perhaps the government will turn back to non-EU work permits: the companies will have no choice but to press their case forward if they can't hire qualified EU citizens. Obviously, it's too early to tell the outcome, or when it would be clear.

Your other questions seem a little rhetorical, and also have political connotations; I don't think this is the right place to resolve them in earnest. This is more of a courtesy reply - I will not engage in debating the right and the wrong of the Irish government.

Thanks for your understanding and good luck with finding the solution to your current challenges.
