Polish people

Maybe it's a little wierd but what do you think about the polish (foreign)people in Ireland? I am polish myself and sometimes I can hear that we are not really welcome here. Why do "we" have such a bad opinion here?Do you really think the polish people are taking away the irish jobs?

Sorry for my mistakes:)

Do you wanna be mates?

Mr Bloat · 20-08-2009 09:24PM

I'm Irish, born and bred and while I haven't met a lot of Polish people, I have liked and got on well with those that I have.
Don't listen to those that say you aren't welcome and are taking jobs, they are small minded bigots.
My job takes me to many different companies and businesses and from what I hear and have seen, amongst most business people the attitude is that Polish people are hard working and decent people.

We like your wimmins.

waitinforatrain · 20-08-2009 09:29PM

Hmmm I thought pretty much everyone liked the polish, or at least has no problem with them. You'll get a few bigots no matter where you go though.

Stop eating our swans!

Nah i kid, they're great people, very funny!

JONJO THE MISER · 20-08-2009 09:31PM

Well O.P ive lived with a few poilsh people and i have to say they were top notch Guys, however there are a lot of real Polish thugs in Ireland that give other Polish a bad name, i think a lot of Irish have mixed feelings about Polish people espically now the country is in recession but overall id say Polish people are welcomed here in Ireland.

PCPhoto · 20-08-2009 09:32PM

the only people who dont like the polish are the people who dont want a job !!!
(NOTE: The Scum of the Social Welfare)

- they only want someone to blame.

donglen · 20-08-2009 09:33PM

Have worked with quite a few Polish people and without meaning to generalise, I've found them to be a decent, honest hardworking bunch.........some traits the "new" Irish could do with taking on board (again, not meaning to generalise).

*waits for the racists.

raah! · 20-08-2009 09:34PM

Ah, that type of thing happens everywhere there are immigrants.

dangerus06 · 20-08-2009 09:34PM

El Weirdo · 20-08-2009 09:37PM

That was quick...

Dzien Dobry moja kollega. Mam kochanie polkom

I think having Polish people here is great, I've got a fantastic girlfriend, and a great country to explore each time she visits her parents and brings me. Most polish people I've met are very well educated, and easy to chat to, so I've no problem with any of them.

Of course, you could accuse my girlfriend of coming over here and stealing our fat ugly men if you want

My childminder (who has been with us nearly 3 years) is polish. She was the best educated, best spoken and had the best references of the dozen or so people we interviewed.
We pay her well above minimum wage and treat her like one of the family.
She is incredibly generous and very kind to me and my family....so for me i have nothing but respect and admiration for this polish girl who has travelled the world and has graced us with her presence.

P.S........she is gorgeous!!!!!!!!!

Pygmalion · 20-08-2009 09:51PM

I'm about to go looking for a job for when I move up to study in DCU next month.

So obviously I haven't made up my mind yet as to whether the Polish are human beings or the **** that keep me unemployed.

Pygmalion · 20-08-2009 09:52PM

These are Irish "begrudgers". Fuck them (not literally/in a friendly way).

barakus · 20-08-2009 09:54PM

I like em. Its fairly hypocritical to slag off people coming here to work when we've been doing the exact same thing in other countries for years and you could be sure we would have gone to poland if there was money to be made over there...

Was that not a claim made by a guy which was picked up by certain parts of the media but when he was asked to produce any evidence he couldn't?

The_Kew_Tour · 20-08-2009 09:57PM

Most of the Polish I have met are hard working decent people.

There few bad apples in every country so dont worry about it.

As long as you here to work in this country the better it is for Ireland

brummytom · 20-08-2009 09:59PM

Most people are fine with 'foreigners' (for want of a better phrase)

Ignore anyone who isn't, they're bigoted pricks

Monkey_Pirate · 20-08-2009 10:02PM

Us Irish have that tendency to turn the watery 'aul eye of suspicion to anything we're not familiar with. Don't mind us. We're a lovely bunch really. Mostly, anyway (but then that can be said for all people from all walks of life

)
