Polish Embassy makes video as Gaeilge, thanking Ireland for 10 years of welcome

The Polish. A great bunch of lads

The Polish Embassy has put up a Youtube video, in Irish, to thank the Irish for 10 years of welcome since they joined the EU.

Fairly awesome stuff.

Great bunch of lads, mostly hard working decent people, I think we're blessed with the high quality of immigration we've had over the last decade.

Thanks Journal.ie

A great addition to the country alright.

Got on well with every Polish person I have worked with and some of them had to put up with a lot of sh*t, but they were a good fit to Ireland, being white, catholic, a history of being fcuked by their neighbours, large and hard working*. Its a shame that the mass immigration probably helped the over-heating of the property market and subsequent collapse though.

*Excuse all the massive generalizations

If some of the mots could just sort out their stonewashed jeans and peroxide mullets, they'd score 100%

Great bunch of lads in all fairness,a really nice gesture.

MadYaker

I've never met a Polish person I didn't like. They are all dead sound as far as my experience goes.

Son Of A Vidic

Great little video and fair play to them. Comes as no surprise though, because I've always found Polish lads & lassies to be incredibly sound.

Poles make an ideal immigrant to Ireland and I'm glad they feel welcome.

Polish worker v Irish worker.

Leave an Irish lad and a polish lad in a workshop with a dodgy welder and broken grinder with some steel that needs fabricated.

Come back at the end of the day.

Polish lad, had the grinder disassembled, reassembled working perfectly. Job complete.

Irish lad, 4 newspapers read, 20 cigarette butts at his feet, fcuk all work done.

I'll give them this much, they're resourceful.

SEPT 23 1989

They hit the ground running,worked hard,set up businesses,had families integrated into their community's and contributed to Irish society

others could learn a lot from the Polish people

c_man

Yeah, great people alright. Glad they came over, the immigration over the past ten years really improved Ireland imo.

olliesgirl55

They did a damn good job with that video. It was very nice to watch.
When I left Ireland many moons ago there was virtually no foreigners when I returned there are lots. The Polish people I have been in contact with are all sound. I think they fit in grand here in Ireland:)

Mostly keep to themselves and cant wait to get out of here many of them but can't blame them. They came for the money, fair enough.

Lol that's wishful thinking. I've worked with plenty of lazy polish people. They're like any other nationality. Some good, some bad.

I've always found their somewhat dark sense of humour to be very like ours, and that makes for a good fit!

Obviously an over-generalization, but any that I know or have had dealings with have been decent, hardworking and fun people who have integrated well here.

PS: Also their wimmen are stunning looking

PSS: ^May also be a generalization

Met many polish friends in secondary school, they were a good buzz

If only Irish women could look like the Polish we would be blessed here in this country

Speak for yourself.....

No disrespect to Poles, but In am quite happy with Irish women in general, and my OH in particular. There are exceptions in both cases, same applies to males.

Dzięki means thanks.

That was keith16's Polish word of the day.

Great to have some glamor in the country too. Hopefully they are here to stay.

Mr. CooL ICE

Is "welcome" polish for "swan eating"?

If that's the case, then you are welcome. Swans might look pretty, but they're angry bastards.

Mr. Incognito

Gorgeous women. Put manners on some parochial up themselves local woman's and the rest learnt to make an effort. Although my oh is Latvian.

God bless them.

I watched lots of Sandra Romain videos on RedTube.

Ditto and I've met a load in my time and not one I didn't get on with. Zimbabweans are another bunch of folks where I've never met one who wasn't really sound. People are people no matter where you go and you have good and bad*, but mostly good I've found, but with those two cultures for some reason the bad ratio is smaller.

You must have women falling at your feet with charm like that.

True, what I've found anyway.

Irish people are particularly picky and clique-ish I find. I was in school when a lot of Polish came over to Ireland and tbh they were ignored by both the Irish students and teachers. Looked like they hated school with a passion and I wouldn't blame them, no wonder they kept to themselves.

Worked with a few polish over the years.


My god they can drink. They are like our long lost brothers and sisters :pac:

I have Polish friends. They are all sounds, they have our sense of humour.

I'll add a few more generalizations just in case any were missed...


Unbelievably committed, diligent and hard working people
All Polish women are amazingly beautiful! , would blind you to gaze at their beauty
Most skilled drivers ever to navigate Irish roads


Dziękuję Polska

I was pointing out how they are so resourceful, I've seen them also fashion various other tools from bits of bar because there were none on site.

Was McGyver Polish?

So ALL Polish women are stunners, who came here and 'put manners' on Irish women? Are you for real?

Course - s'like St. Patrick and the snakes, innit. Only with, like, women and stuff.

Plenty of generalisations about them being good workers etc. Have found a few well able to work the system as well, act the bollix on the street when full of off licence cheap drink and friendly when they want something. Of course many came and did the ****e jobs but now have moved on and have taken up supervisor/management roles or set up their own business. Need less to say this doesn't go down well with the lazy Irish

One of the best sexual encounters I've had was with a Polish woman. They should've had that in the video.

mixery

After living here for 10 years I'm nearly more Irish than Polish*, but thank you for all the kind words.



*Altough I still think vodka is better than beer and drink my tea without milk.

You tricky pr1ck! You made me go to a Journal.ie article!! Damn!!

Worked with a load of Polish people. Great workers!! Amazing work ethic. Also some of the women that came over...WOW!!

Something I found strange was that a few of the Polish lads I worked with were big into steroids....

Worked with one Polish girl who didn't really like the Irish. She thought the Irish women were stuck up and claimed the Irish men were all the same and boring...all like the same music and the same things. She went back to Poland after a couple of years
