Irish people applying for jobs in Australia told 'we only hire Australians'

Some Irish people applying for jobs in Australia are being told “we only hire Australians”, an RTÉ documentary reveals tonight.

Jake Haynes from Dublin tells viewers: “In Ireland I just finished in UCD, the year before I came and I thought when I came out here I would be able to use my degree but all the places I applied for were like ‘we only hire Australian people’. If you said that at home in Ireland – we only hire Irish people – there would be uproar”.
