Ros and the team are in Dublin today for a couple of special shows on Ireland's financial woes.

Chloe and myself are currently on the look out for people from outside Ireland to talk to our guests in Dublin.

So do send us your comments on Ireland's financial grief and the broader implications beyond its shores.

    Please let those who are leaving know that they are only going to make life difficult for the people of their new found country. E. Julu Swen, Monrovia, Liberia

    @大象传媒_WHYS Ros, your guests have put tears in my eyes. Youth of Ireland, make the best decision and stay strong.

    Keith in Australia says: For the past year there's a vigorous debate here in Australia about our population. This has led to broad agreement that we have to reduce immigration to live within the constraints of our stressed environment. There is also a strong feeling we need to train Australians rather than importing trained foreigners. So don't expect it to be as easy to get into Australia in the future as it has been in the past.

    Dave in the US sent this email: Why do these students think they can just go and get jobs in the States? Our unemployment is 9.6% and we don't have enough jobs ourselves. Fix their own backyard!

    Giacomo in Nairobi on FB: Ireland is toast. It will lose it attractiveness as a top investment destination. The Irish are damned if they accept the bailout and damned if they don't.

    Euro Bullying. Ireland is being pressuried to accept the bailout, not because they need it, but to take the heat off the Euro. Eamonn in Kent

    James in Michigan emailed: I would be delighted to hire an Irish worker here and I believe that I can even convince my employer to hire some. These are blue collar jobs that require very little skill. The pay is only about $1500 per month. But it's a sustainable income.

    Pete in the US emailed us and says : I'm surprised to hear Irish people say they are considering emigrating to America. I'm an American in the medical and pharmaceutical business. My company closed manufacturing sites here and moved the jobs to Ireland. We've lost jobs to Irish competition and they will never come back.

    Natalie in Canada emailed this advice : Speaking as a Canadian youth and recent graduate, I would love to have more of those lovely Irish accents around here, but I would warn the Irish that things in North America are just as depressing in the workforce.

    Steggles in Brisbane, Australia emails: I would put on hold coming to Australia for the moment as we have an incompetent government who are yet to find their way.

    Sure we would welcome the Irish graduates, those two words are a synonym of well educated English speaking young flexible cool fun people (well, 99% of them, anyway). Hana, Prague

    Jeanne emailed WHYS from Ohio: I just heard an young Irish woman saying that when she finishes school next year she will have to go to Australia or the US. There are NO jobs for young people in the US. Don't think of finding work here - go elsewhere if you want a future.

    Allison in the US on FB: I'm puzzled as to why the people being interviewed think that they're going to find jobs overseas? Unemployment is a problem everywhere.

    John who is from Ireland, but lives in San Franciso emailed: The Irish Government made this bailout inevitable when they put the weight of the state and the taxpayer behind a guarantee to all Irish banks. The bank bondholders are kept while the Irish taxpayer will be paying this off for a generation.

    William in the UK emailed us: Listening to the show now, it's mostly to do with the collapse of property prices - the same as in the USA and UK - so no way should the Irish feel any shame. They are the victims of something beyond their control.

    Justin emailed WHYS: Here come the Structural Adjustment Programs. Get ready to privatise even more of your social programs, adhering to the whim of the IMF.

    Did the irish people understand what a momentous constitutional change they were approving when they adopted the euro? Or did they just think it would make foreign holidays a bit more convenient? Ed uk.

    Hi Claudia with you today on WHYS live. We''re on air. Listen live here: We''re broadcasting from a Dublin pub, hearing from Irish people about the financial crisis and how it''s affecting them. Should the EU bail out the Irish government? Should Ireland raise its corporation tax (low by Europe''s standards)? Post your comments here.
