    http://www.irelandjobs.pl This is a thundering disgrace, No wonder i can't find a job, And yet they say the economy is booming, well it is but you find our own people working, No wonder i couldn't find a job again this summer I've being trying since 01, for a cushy summer job. This is a disgrace and their needs to limits put on the amount of new EU'ers that can take up our jobs. Now I will be chastiagated over posting this here but if i put it on Politics it will be locked by the right-wing capitalisitc people there.

    Let this be debated, i find polish and other of the 10 new countries citizens perfectly fine, but we need to limit their access to our labour market, and give our own Generation a chance to get a job here.

    They'll do jobs we won't or don't want to do. Ask anyone who's emigrated. You work harder for less.

    You're complaining because you can't find a cushy summer job?

    I think that's starting to become a cliche to be honest.

    There are many Irish based sites for, say, jobs in europe, Australia, America etc...so we really shouldn't be annoyed by something similiar in other countries.

    I personally think that if you're good enough to do the job you have a better chance of getting it than a foreigner but if someone comes over here from abroad and breaks their back to get a job I say fair play to them. If they check those sights before they come over, even better, it shows that they actually want to work.

    Interesting point though, let's see what the general consesis will be....

    It's not really - saw it first hand in Germany and now it's much the same here.
    That's what affluence does. I agree with you on the jobs. If peopel want to work, let them come. Good for us and good for them

    I personally think there should be quotas.

    They do work at most of the jobs that we Irish wont do but lately ive been noticing a lot of employers hiring Polish lads to do jobs that many an Irish person would do but paying the polish next to nothing so hiring them instead.

    Anyway we are the last country who should be complaining, irish are working all over the world.

    Ban cut to 1 week because you acknowledged wrong board in later post.

    (Zero tolerance is still going strong in AH.)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 485 ✭✭Kare Bear


    I also think there should be some quotas.

    Ditto on the quotas.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,263 ✭✭✭✭Eoin


    First of all I very much doubt that there legally can be quotas because that defeats the purpose of an open European state, but I could be corrected on this by someone with some legal knowledge. As far as I know, this would be like disciminating on country people getting jobs in Dublin.

    Second of all, economists will tell you that there is a multiplication effect with immigrants coming into Ireland. The amount of jobs in Ireland is not a finite number. The more people that come into Ireland actually creates jobs - there is a multiplying effect that occurs.
    it will be locked by the right-wing capitalisitc people there

    Would it not be right-wing capitalists that would welcome a bigger work force? I think it is the left-wing people who would object to your quota.

    Also, Ireland is probably one of the countries that has benefitted most from the E.U., I very much doubt we are in a position to complain.

    Why would the left object to jobs for Polish people?

    Isnt SIPTU actively seeking to help all immigrant workers, espeicially the ones being exploited by the business sector?

    Sorry, I meant to say that right wing people would be in favour of the quota, left wing people would be against. "Capitalists" though, would also be against a quota, as they want as big a work force as possible. I don't really think the "right-wing capitalists" as said by OP really make sense actually.

    Get a job in MacDonalds. Too menial? Or are ye just too lazy? Or do you expect to get a job cos your Irish?

    I prefer to work with a hard-working Romanian, than the lazy Irish. And yes, I'm Irish, I'm just not lazy.
