900 Brazilians in Gort

According to this report here:

However, as previously highlighted, almost half of all the residents in the tiny town of Gort, Co Galway, were non-Irish nationals.

Out of the town’s usual resident population of 2,646, 1,065 stated their nationality to be other than Irish, with 83.3% – almost 900 – of those being Brazilian.

How come, is there some kind of specialist industry there?

As far as I remember, they were brought over to work in a meat plant which I think has since closed. In a few years they'll have the most flamboyant and skillful GAA team in christendom.

I'm working with them

There is more than 900, it's just 900 of them are actually legal. generally good workers in fairness to them.

Thread on this a few weeks back that ended up getting lost. To coin a George Bush joke ... "My God, 4 Brazillion people dead? How many is a Brazillion?"

There are a lot of beautiful women among them, the more the merrier! Better than the fat arsed muck savages you'd normally associate with Gort!

Brazilian women have gigantic arses.

There is the odd dartable one among them, fair amount of mingers aswell.

Agree with your point on Gort women though.

They are big but they are pert,an irish woman with a big arse is hanging behind her knees.

Drive thru there on a sunday morning and its like being in brazil. All the irish people are in bed with hang overs so its just brazilians everywhere.

Maybe they will take Sam back to Galway in a few years or get us to a European Final.

All of the Mick's, Paddy's and John's on the Galway United football team will be replaced by Ronaldo etc from Gort! Go Gort!
I can see it 2020 Galway United V Barcelona in the Champions League

There was an add in the GGG(Gort Gobs*hite Gazette) recently by someone selling a Ford Gortino with no previous owners, all having committed sewage side(life had become fart to much), obairegatzo , its Portugalisimo for(a) a working speed camera (b) thank you. Im from Fattenrye so I could do with a bit of foreign to stop me from going inane

I went shopping in Gort the other day and helped an old man with his shopping at the checkout, he said: *Thank God you are Irish!*

I had to disappoint him: I am German

In all fairness what had Gort ever to offer?(I used to live there and the most exciting thing that used to happen was the vegetable growing in our vegetable patch on Garabeg Rd!).
But the Brazilians have brought a festival with them which does be mighty craic!

ballymary

oh and gort men are hunks are they???

ScumLord

I think it may be our children that benefit the most from the Brazilian influx. Most the women coming over seem to be pigs. There are a few exceptionally good looking ones in there too but they're all married off.

But 20 years from now when all those sexy Brazilian genes mix through and grow up, Co Galway could be the sexiest co. in Ireland.

Mars Bar

I like that attitude!

how can they survive on incedental work?
It reminds me of the history books when the english landlord would come around and pick workers from standing on top of a box.
Its just like that nowadays with brazilians in hi-viz jackets standing at every street corner (loughrea as well).
I mean no ill against them but its becoming a black economy!
If any of you have ever tried to go to australia or new zealand for a working holiday visa,I dont think they would allow entry to anyone without either €5,000 in your pocket and job description of hanging around at the side of the road until work presents itself!
Irish immigration must be seriously lax!

Lol, a fun family game.

When i'm going through it I play how many can I spot today.

any updates?


i hope with this recession we don't see potential footballers, and hurlers dissapear for ever.

Did ye not hear about the 8 year old Brazilian(I think from Gort) who is tipped to become one of the greatest hurlers the country has ever seen? Apparently he can score a point from the half-way line(a smaller pitch of course)...

My mum met a fellow with a hurling mad toddler and it transpired they were Brasileros and fair play to them.They are some of the nicest people on the planet.I think they were lost and looking for the local childrens pitch.

Mars Bar

Yeah they are embracing the hurling, but then again, how do you not like it? It's serious stuff, fastest field game in the world.

SalthillGuy

Its amazing how so many Brazilians have come to Gort and setup home there.
I wonder if there are other towns in Ireland which have had large number of people visit and stay from a single country.
