UK, Ireland / No Irish Need Apply - Polish Builders get their own back [42]

I was born in Cork, Ireland and lived in there until I was 24 when I emigrated to England.

I moved back to Cork a few years agao after reading about all the work that was there.

It was the biggest mistake of my life. Because my accent had changed and became a little British sounding - I couldn't get work and when I did it was on very low and even then it was a struggle to get paid.

I eventually left and vowed never to return to Ireland.

The whole experience gave me a whole new perspective on Ireland and my fellow countrymen and women.

I can understand and appreciate what some of the Poles went through in Ireland and their position to refuse to hire Irish people.

To the Irish people I say - you reap what you sow.
