I'm tempted to apply in English or use google translate to send my email in Polish but what if I get it? I'd feel bad not to take the job but one in Kildare will cost me more in petrol to get there

Just means you need to have fluent Polish. And who has fluent Polish in Ireland other than Polish people. Whats the issue? Some jobs might require fluent German, or an engineering degree

Why would you need to be fluent in polish to work in a warehouse?

Its a simple case of the recruitment agent also advertising in another language to open up the pool of potential employees.

See the link below for the same job advertised in English...

http://jobs.ie/ApplyForJob.aspx?Id=1084044

in short no its not a way of them saying no Irish need apply.

If having a good standard of English is a condition of employment then why put the ad in Polish? It seems to be just opening the pool to unqualified candidates who couldn't understand the English ad, and therefore are not suitable for the position anyway.

hadnt looked to see if there was an english version. Just figured it might be a polish company looking for polish speakers, and was trying to kill off the OP's implication that there might be some shocking and disgraceful anti-Irish discrimination going on!!

Fair enough spose they could be a company who'd sell products to to Poland therefore needing polish..

Either way we should ignore the fact that its also advertised in English, get the OP riled up some more and go BURN down Grafton Recruitment!

an rusring home that needs a fulltime nurse with Malaysian Language

landsleaving · 17-02-2011 12:08PM

Probably a Malaysian with little to no english there. Maybe a parent of an immigrant. Fari play to them for trying to consider that kind of thing in fairness.

it is a regular irish nursing home and a full time job

thebaz · 17-02-2011 12:19PM

it seams strange , that in a country where half its ethnic population is being forced to emigrate - that such adds still appear - but then nothing surprises me here in ireland now - Irish people emigrate to Aus, U.K. and U.S. where possible - meanwhile Eastern Europeans and other countries flock here

Squirm · 17-02-2011 12:23PM

I worked in a restaurant a number of years ago. We hired a man from China to work in the kitchen. We then hired a Polish waiter. There were issues language wise from the start, between the Irish staff members but, moreso, between the Chinese and Polish men. After that, we made every effort to only hire Chinese people in the event that we found no suitable Irish candidates. That way, they could communicate with each other efficiently and, with a good grasp of the English language, could communicate with us also.

I suspect this is the same situation. A number of exisiting Polish employees (a [vast] majority perhaps) means that it now makes for easier and more efficient communication (an subsequently work?) between said workers.

I don't think it mean 'no Irish need apply' BUT if it does, is that really a problem? All employers have a good idea of what kind of individual they are looking for- race, age group, sex, socio-economic background... they just disguise it better than this in their generic job advertisments.

Saves some poor, desperate, out-of-work, forklift driver from getting his hopes up, possibly traipsing out to Kildare, spending all that petrol money and not getting the position...!

What's your point exactly?

Cianos · 17-02-2011 12:28PM

What do you mean "No Irish"....there are plenty of Irish people who speak Polish.

well considering at certain Polish building sites , they had signs signs saying "No Irish" - i think it does -

if they discriminate against irish in ireland , political correctness has gone another step beyond

Here is a clue. No Irish will work night shifts on weekend for 8.65. Simple!:D
