'Jobless Paddy' spends his life savings on a billboard to get job
'Jobless Paddy' who had to leave Australia spends his life savings on a billboard to try to get a job

An Irishman who has been unable to find a job in his country since returning from Australia last year has spent his life savings on a billboard campaign in a last ditch effort to get employed.

Feilim Mac An Iomaire, 26, said he moved to Australia after finding work at a travel agency but had to return to Ireland in August after the strengthening Australian dollar weakened the tourism market, The Journal news website reported.
