I knew an anti-Irish ad would get support of boards.ie. Pathetic

Love the way there's loads of posts here about the Aussies being 'classy' etc when this advert looks like it was posted by an Irish guy! He's probably been that person he doesn't want to hire!

Northern Irish guy. Big difference.

There really doesn't seem to have been any need for the Irish Times to post that he was from Northern Ireland, only to differentiate himself as different from all the other Irish and introduce the relationship between the North and South into another debate once again.
I kind of feel bad for the employers, the Irish are so happy out there with all the jobs available that they're more focused on the holiday than the work now... it's also incredibly annoying, because as a young student who's thinking of emigrating in the near future I can't believe that the minority of Irish people over there who are nothing but time wasters are going to begin this tirade with their employers of 'No Irish' will make it impossible for us normal, hardworking people to find a job anywhere

It is kind of the point though. Northern Ireland as I have already mentioned is the most racist place on earth, a very different environment to the Republic of Ireland. Even in this thread you had numerous well known loyalist posters leaping in to defend this racism, and a few others who should hang their heads in shame.

I don't think people really appreciate what kind of malignancy is just north of the border there - its not just Irish people looked down on, but black people, jews, gays, all the usual with room to spare. Given half a chance they'd turn the country into something that would make apartheid era South Africa look like a model of tolerance and understanding. This is the end result of many many years of typical misadministration by Britain, which not only accepted but encouraged these attitudes.

Now thats not to say everyone in the north is like that, the hard cases are in the minority. Barely. But its a real problem we're going to have to deal with when the country gets reunified.

What happened here is this gobjaw heard that Oz had a reputation for being racist, and moved there believing that he could live out his supremacist fantasies, obviously with an English guy as fellow traveller. Lets hope the ensuing backlash teaches him to amend his attitudes in future.

Funnily enough last week I was talking about the issue of the 'Drunken Irish' with my Irish Australian uncle and cousin both with their own businesses in the building trade in Perth. The uncle is originally from inner city Dublin and is a Catholic and still loves the drink. His son was born here but has been in Australia since he was 5.

Neither will hire Irish. Unreliable, showing up late or not at all, showing up still pissed, wrecking shared rented accomodation etc. Grown men crying on the airwaves here about no work and having to travel to the other side of the world to find work, then get there and act like drunken teenage J1'ers. Very clever lads, very clever

I wonder where the old stereotypes came from

Am I just being honest with myself about how we Irish are or am I just a self loathing west brit?? You decide.

When the British come rolling in the tune quickly changes!

for years the irish abroad have passed off as english when they were acting the maggot. problem is now that too many are in aus. its impossible to hide and people know exactly who is causing the problems. perhaps its time for a bit of a look at how we conduct ourselves abroad with a drink or two on us.

Looks like the only person with a prejudicial attitude here is you. Thankfully your type are in the minority of people I've met in Ireland, North & South.

I won't launch into a discussion on power sharing and representation in the North as i think you're either not old enough or not intelligent enough to have a reasonable debate with.

Riiiiight! How the hell do you know any of this?

And as he said he has had Irish lads working for him, I find your summation and personal assessment of his character pretty laughable.

How is it prejudice to report the facts? Maybe you have your own report to back yourself up, but I doubt it.

And I find your continued ongoing defence of this racist advert to be pretty contemptible. But how and ever.

Where have I defended the racist ad? If you can read, you will see that I said it is appalling - and said so as an Australian when we all thought the guy was Australian.

Nowhere ever have I defended the ad.

Have you decided to explain to us why you find anti-Irish attitudes understandable yet?
