Estimated number of Poles in Ireland thought to exceed 200,000 OR over 5% of population.

Exactly. I remember Irish people suddenly appearing in Warsaw with lots of money. A real boom and bust.

Better Polish than muslims

Who treats who like that, are you being a bit melodramatic?

After all those things you read in the news papers you really start to wonder you know.

I see. So Irish people innately have something against Polish people - before they even encounter any. Right.


Not the point - hypothetically, I asked what attitude they would encounter in Poland. I'll try a guess - I think they would get a very bad reception.

You have some cheek accusing other countries of anti-Polish attitudes when your own is one of the most (if not the most) racist in Europe.


Sorry, I forgot, you are one these people who think Poles sh1te bars of soap aren't you?

Sorry to burst your illusion but among the hard working Poles there are plenty who do the bare minimum and plenty who live off the state. I've met them.

Imagine that?

Very difficult to take you seriously David.


All what things?

Well done, i think they also have a few Polish players.

I was googling away the other day and found this web site:
sospolonia.net/NOTICE-BOARD/]Interesting article


The above paragraph is just oozing with sarcasm, thats a debate right there. Actually thats quite annoying i mean at least it was written in Polish imagine the opposite in Poland.

Polish and English junior football team here, its a thriving community.

You seem to be taking stuff I said and twisting it into an argument about how terribly the polish are treated by the Irish

1. You go to a foreign country and in your place of work you speak only your native tongue with your fellow countrymen 6 of you 1 english speaking thatt is ignorance yes

I grew up in Africa I speak 6 different languages in Ireland english in Holland dutch when I move to poland polish its a respect thing

2. In my town in my place of work there are people on minimum wage driving merceded benz 7 actually new ones too

when I asked how they can afford it they cheat the government they collect rent allowance child support and so on and so forth and they are proud of it

Just as there is a minority In ireland who have a bad attitude towards poles there is an even larger minority of poles with a bad attitude towards the Irish.

Climb off your pedestal david it takes 2 to tango

There are certainly plenty of them claiming disability benefits while working on the side. Who is staffing all those guarded car parks, I wonder?

I was talking to a Polish couple the other week who are waiting to have a child, guess what theyre waiting to go to England so they can claim child benefit.

I know ive posted this before.

No.


Depends. If they just sit and live on our tax money then yes people would get pissed, but if they work hard i would't see any problem with them being in Poland.


Accusing? I'm just telling you the truth. I sincerely hope that your country can improve its behaviour to its hardworking guests.

And yes some poles are racists. Kinda funny due to the fact that we don't even got black people in Poland. The racism must have been imported from abroad... U.K or Ireland maybe? ;)


Like i said you would find me some examples of lazy poles. But this is something your govement needs to work on. i don't understand why you have a wellfare system that benefits the lazy ones. WORK WORK WORK!

Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others.

Ow please stop flatter me!!!

Not some - lots - time and time again.

See posts above too (wroclawboy)


What are basing this acute observation on David - have you even been there?


LOL - OK - Discussion over for me - you're obviously trolling.

Was just teasing you :( Im so sorry that i can't bend over and take all the crap your writing from the behind.


Not in ireland. But been traveling into the U.K plenty of times to visit some friends. Most of the things i know is by reading the newspapers and other online sources.


Whatever makes you happy!


Not really. I call it normal to speak your native language with your fellow countrymen.


Good for you, i hope you find a job that makes use of your Language skills.


Do i smell some jealousy?


Anything wrong to collect your rights? they are still working their arsh of?


And your accusations are based on facts? i don't think so.

of course Im jealous I work twicw as hard get paid twice as much and drive a heap of shite cause im honest.

When you have the balls to remove yourself from the safety of your homeland I will have this discussion but as you have no life skills to base it on you are just wasting my time

lol debate over for me good luck and god bless

You guys are giving up so fast. I wonder how long it would take before the U.K would have lost the war if it werent for some stubborn polish soldiers and the American army.


So its ok fo you to earn twice as much right? but its not okey for them to earn less and have the same rights?

David_18
I am the executive chef of a large international hotel group with responsibility for 30 staff and a €4000000 a year food business that involves at least 80hours a week hes a kitchen porter doing 39 and scratching his arse unless i beg him to do his job. No thats not his right it is his right to work as hard as i have in my career and to get paid what i get paid by working for it not by cheating the government

A debate is a discussion by two people on a subject they are both knowledgeable on ur just trolling sweetheart

Not suprising at all. Many Poles visited your country just like UK where you can't find a single village whithout a Pole.

What are your thoughts about it, Teffle?


David please stop argue and talking nonsense. They have right, I don't live in delusions that everyone is honest. I blive tham if they say that many Poles are cheating the welfare etc.

Btw. chefneedshelp you can always denounce that person who is cheating the govern.

if u r caught cheting social you have to pay it back with interest, the guy has a family 2 young boys why should the children pay for the sins of the father if he gets caught good wont be because of me though.

ok.

Btw. I wanna remind that David is a US citizen (since birth?) so his imagine of Poland can be some kind idealized.

Can they claim child benefit? I doubt it !

Good for you :)


How is he cheating? He is working his hours and he is also collecting the benefits that he has the right too just as you do.


Cry me a river. How can i or anyone for that matter even discuss with you when everytime you feel uncomfortable you cry and call other "troll"

Well overall I think it's a good thing - Poles in Ireland I mean - good for Ireland but maybe not so good for Poland I suppose. Really it's the first time that the country has seen a large influx of people who weren't actually invading!

I get the impression that most Poles have integrated well and are generally liked. A few that I know personally have married Irish men/women and I have some very good Polish friends.

Generally they have a good reputation too - e.g. hard working, straight talking, loyal etc but yes, many are indeed living off welfare and often by choice. To be honest this does not particularly bother me as plenty of Irish people do it too. What can I say? I don't approve but they are no better or worse than anyone else who is doing it.

yes, I am very very surprised, I haven't heard that being said or even alluded to once , how would it be the Polish people's fault that the country's economy has gone into a nosedive.???? you must have been at a government meeting...blaming everyone and everything but their own incompetence and greed

Most Irish despise the poles and see them as money grabbing and lazy. Polish people create alot of crime as well as destroying a once lovely country.

Why don t poles have more patriotism and help their own nation instead of destroying Ireland.

Why do polish boast about how they are diluting Irish identity?! It s nothing to be proud of.#I lived in Ireland and it is a wonderful country but unlike the poles... I LEFT

Why do chinese flood western countries, refuse to assimilate, speak only their own language and live amongst other chinese immigrants? Why do they destory national unity in their adoptive countries and dilute western identity? Why don't they have more patriotism and help their own nation instead of destroying western nations?

"The Polish minority in the Republic of Ireland numbers approximately 63,276 according to 2008 census figures,[1] making it the largest minority in the country excluding those born in the United Kingdom. However, the census that year is believed by the government to have underestimated the number of Polish nationals, whose numbers may be as high as 200,000.[2]"

I highly doubt it's that high.

chinaman
maybe you had to leave...

@David: If you are honest and good, pay your taxes on time, keep your promises, respect local culture and etiquette then every place is good. Remember what u do comes around - Karma.

As regards to your rant about being treated like ****, dont believe all u read in the papers.

I think the irish are wonderful ppl. They are very friendly and bond with people very well. Just make sure u talk to an irishman after u both have had a coupla pints. cheers

Why?

Sometimes you guys say that the Poles are taking over ... sometimes you say that the Indians are taking over ... sometimes you say that the Muslims are taking over! ... lol!

Who - some Chinese guy?

Very few muslims or Indians in Ireland too by the way - I think you may be thinking of our British neighbours.
