There are indeed many small Irish exporters existing in Ireland‚ though no doubt there were many more before the economic crisis hit the country in 2008. Since this event‚ some firms have probably been forced to look further afield for their business‚ an option which they had not previously anticipated. It might

John’s ship finally arrived in New York and he was exhausted. He and his family traveled to America because of the potato famine that was happening back home in Ireland. The first task he needed to do was find a place to live at with his family; he realized that the decent houses and apartments were out of his budget. He only had money for the crowded and unhygienic apartments‚ if they could be called that. After John picked a “room” out‚ he went to search for jobs. While he was out looking for work
