    Since I arrived in Ireland it feels like I have arrive in Poland, I only hear Polish blahblah in combination with bad English.

    In stores, talking polish to other people but seems to be bad in English, people only being friendly if the other person is also polish.

    How did the people of Ireland ever accepted this situation?

    Poles are only a tiny percentage of the population, where are you living?

    Seeing as you are also an immigrant, maybe you are as much a part of the "problem" as they are.

    For what it's worth, whenever I am back in Ireland...it's still mostly Irish people there...perhaps you need to take your ignorance elsewhere...

    I confirm that I am Irish, and I am in Ireland right now.
    So that's one anyway.

    I was asked to come over here because they needed someone with some native languages, we are used to Polish people on the "mainland" of europe and they are nothing more but trouble.

    Probably because we don't generally have any 'klan' like tendencies.

    How do you know that each one of them weren't asked to come over like yourself, or are doing jobs that Iriah people don't want.

    Or are they just not the right "kind" of immigrant for your tastes.

    To be honest, if you don't like how Ireland is, I suggest you leave. There are plenty of others willing to fill your spot

    Only Ireland, Sweden and the UK fully opened up their labour markets to Poland and the other nine accession states in May 2004. The rest opted to impose a work permit scheme. Hence why there are so many here now and they are largest minority group in the state with 122k resident as per the census 2011.

    Why shouldn't they be in the EU?

    I'd take a Pole for a day footing turf over a Spaniard or a Greek anyway. :P

    Greece will be kicked out the EU soon anyway (at least if they think in Brussels)
    Based on the situation at the mainland, all criminality went up since eastern europe joined the EU.

    I lived in Sweden, believe me people are not really happy with the situation but the government does not care what people think.

    Apart from one Polish woman I worked with who was quite frankly an ignorant bitch, although I don't think that had anything to do with her being Polish, my own experience of Poles in Ireland has been overwhelmingly positive. Same goes for any Latvians, Lithuanians, Romanians, etc., that I've had dealings with. So perhaps you could clarify how the Polish people are so much trouble?
