A few minutes after the phone call, an Englishman called back from the same number, saying he had placed the ad. “I don’t have any problem with [the] Irish whatsoever,” he said.
“I think this has been blown completely out of proportion, because I just don’t have the time to train an Irish person up at the moment. I think it’s just all gone a bit sideways and people have looked at it the wrong way.”


Eh.....WHAT !?!?
Is it somehow more difficult to train up an Irish person than people of other nationalities ?


This is actually a worse statement than the ad itself.

Did not know he was from the north. Well now, isn't that interesting.

Reminds me of the one where an Aussie put an add in the paper stating 'No Asians'. See it here, it's a classic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHtDJ7GnjQY
