One of the questions Richard Shea asked on this list has been answered by the Irish Centre for Migration Studies in Cork. A few years ago it interviewed people whose relatives emigrated in the 1950's from Ireland, the period of the highest emigration from Ireland in the 20th century. You can listen to these interviews on this website: http://migration.ucc.ie/oralarchive/testing/nbreaking/index.html. The gist of these interviews is that the families who stayed behind were devastated and many protected themselves by a form of denial. This is now breaking down as more and more Irish have the means to travel and visit other countries, as I discovered on my recent trip there.
