ireland all they way. i have been to england but i dont like it. there is only 1 good reason now why i go to england some times and its to watch manchester united. i like poland alot aswell cause my girlfriend lives there :P
My brother (as un-Polish as I am, obviously) found settling in to a new job and new home in Ireland very easy. He made lots of friends and the people were easy-going and seemed to appreciate the people who were contributing to Ireland's new-found diversity.
He then moved to Merseyside, which doesn't seem to be nearly as much fun. I'd hazard a guess that the Republic of Ireland may be a little bit friendlier and more welcoming than the United Kingdom. The Republic of Donkia is a different story...
Ireland. I worked in London as an immigrant for a few years but was delighted to return to Dublin. I think Poland is very warm and friendly place also. Thats why I think Irish and Polish get on well together.
As an Irishman.....living in a small rural town, Polish people have gotten on well here, just today in my bank, the person in front of me in a queue and behind me, were Polish, and the 4 guys outside painting the bank...were Polish too!
It all depends on what you look for, and what your expectations are.
Hopefully most people have had a great experince, if at times difficult, but there will always be a small proportion for whom its a nightmare.......but hopefully fewer in Ireland!
Polish people have lots in common with the Irish.......maybe a bit less with the English, which may make a difference.
Loved Ireland, but England is home, family, friends and familiar places so for me it's England all the way :) but not London I wouldnt live there if you paid me :)
Bank of Ireland launched its Polish business proposition in July 2007, with a specific package targeted at those Polish nationals thinking of setting up businesses in Ireland.
The bank offers: two years free banking; translated versions of all its account-opening documentation; and a comprehensive start up guide. Polish-speaking business advisors are also provided and the bank holds regular enterprise evenings during which Polish entrepreneurs give advice.
The next meeting is taking place in Cork on 20 February.
