Agree wholeheartedly with ACG.
Also you need to consider how you will demonstrate to AL that you will go about settling in Ireland (if that's your base choice) should you get offered a position. Did anyone take the time to include a covering letter or email outlining any connections to Ireland or how you would overcome the big move? With a number of fo's leaving I can see this being a bigger issue for AL given their "perceived" investment in training. Don't get me wrong we have a mix of nationalities working in AL but each one has a "story".
