Enemies?
I don't know Irish people. My friend from high school spent two one or two years in Ireland and she said Irish people have a lot in common with Polish. I don't know exactly what did she want to say, I guess that we have similar sense of humour.

Ironic, since I assume you hate the "Brit rag", the Daily Mail, that you sound just like one of their readers.

hahaha excellent point, don't mind that idiot he does not represent my country.

Maybe she meant irish men have common bank accounts with Polki.

got any proof of that figure or are you tellin porkies again Nice?

I never lie and always provide stats to back up my views.

cso.ie/px/pxeirestat/Statire/SelectVarVal/Define.asp?mainta ble=LRM09

Look it up.

Typical working class hero response.

I grew up in a working class househole. I am not a union member and I guaran-fuckin-tee I pay more tax than you and your mixed race brood put together.

It seems you're the idiot if can put all our woes down to "de eastern europeans"

Stop listening to the voices in your head. Unless they are telling you to top yourself. Then listen to them

Another culchie with a polak for a wife?

That website gave me nothing, try harder.

I pay more tax than you

very doubtful if you're working class.

a polak

a Polish woman is called a polka, not a polak, unless you're married to a man and stone aged cronies running Ireland & Poland don't allow gay marriage.........yet.

You're a troll Nice, go back to Boards or thejournal where you belong. Most normal forums woulda banned ya a long time ago. Here you have to call someone a fckin llama before that happens.

2011M10
Accession states EU15 to EU27 50,202

that's 50,202 between 12 countries. What are the Polish figure since that what you're whining about?
Sure if it's divided equally, that's only 4,183.5 people. That's not a lot.

I'm going to conduct a little maths lesson here with you now boy.............

So the number of Polish migrant workers in Ireland is how many? According to this peer reviewed document, tcd.ie/sociology/assets/docs/Polish%20migration%20to%20Irel and%20-%20A%20literature%20review.pdf

the population on Poles in Dublin was 100,000 in 2008, so let's say then that the total population of Poles in Ireland is about 200,000, of that the people of working age would normally be about 70%, which makes the number 140,000.

So then chap, of a possible 140,000 Polish migrant workers around 4,183.5 are claiming unemployment.

3,35% of the Polish working population in Ireland are claiming umemployment.
OMFG! Send in the hounds.

Scarlet for ya.

Jayzus, Mr R.Nice - I'm new to this website, so not only do you hate Poles but also any Irish people who are not from Dublin. Although I suspect you probably despise the proverbial Dublin 4 liberal too .. who do you like?

To answer the initial question, Poles and Irish: friends.

I dislike backward culchies who live in the middle of nowhere, but support mass immigration, as I have to deal with the consequences.

Not many third worlders move to ballygorideyourcousin. They end up on my doorstep.

I am one of the culchies that was mentioned. I am married to the nicest girl in the world(from Katowice) and I own a small business that operates in both Poland and Ireland.

Both countries have a lot in common.

I'am a bit sick of revonice having access to the interenet and posting shite about topics that he is not fully informed of. He takes all info from internet, which may not be true, but posted by idiots.

Met her in my city, no doubt.

Stop bringing your unwanted partners into my city.

This is our small little part of the world. Its not that big. Leave us be.

Well I personally know of plenty of Polish people in such cousin-shagging hotspots as Mullingar, Athlone and Ballymahon .. no problem with them - nice, decent, hardworking people in general. Also, by no stretch of the imagination is Poland a third-world country.

It is true that there is a severe population imbalance in Ireland with a disproportionate number of people living in Dublin. We have only ourselves to blame for that. With proper planning and organisation Ireland could sustain at least double its current population, particularly if we learned to embrace genuinely urban culture. A larger population would lead to greater growth, domestic demand etc Significant numbers of immigrants, particularly from culturally-compatible nations like Poland, can only be a good thing in this context.

I'm no uncritical fan of pop economist Marc Coleman, but I'm drawing on his research here.

Into your city? She came over to work on a power plant in Clare.

Why is it yout city?

You know what , I think you on only get your kicks out of playing I'am a Dub, so any one else is shite.

Dublin was under control of the brits. it was Wexford men that first rebelled against the brits.

Any way you are in your rights to post shite on the internet if it makes you happy.

And it was Dubs who finished the job. 1916 and all that.

The vast majority of people who control Dublin council are non Dubs.

Leave us be, culchies. You call us "west brits" but once us Dubs even mention independence you wrap yourselves in the green flag.

Dublin would be one of the top ten performing economies in europe if it left the rest of Ireland btw.

A higher population density does not equate with economic growth. Just ask one of the five million Indians who live on a dollar a day.

Ultimately, yes, this is true; in so far as the majority of Dubliners are 'non-Dubs' when you scratch the surface and find one or both parents or grandparents being from the country.. (indeed, everyone came from somewhere else if you scratch deeply enough) It is also true that this sentimental attachment to the countryside may have contributed to Dublin never fully embracing its urban character. That is a question of mentality and a practical question which is, I believe, changing. I'm a culchee living in Dublin, I lived abroad for years, and I love both where I come from and where I live. No contradiction there.

Nonsense. Like everywhere, we need each other.

I never suggested population density per se is enough to generate prosperity, of course not. My key words here were: 'with proper planning and organisation'.

I can PM you the file of the study, if you like. We can still trade, even though we are seperate countries.

Most of the people whom have sat on the council, are not born in Dublin.

The muldoon mentality will be eradicated once we are free of the Irish shackles.

I'm a culchee living in Dublin

You would require a visa if us indigenous Dubs had our way.

No doubt you have brought your Polish partner to live herE too, of course.

with proper planning and organisation'.

Something like half of all taxes received by the Irish state come from Dublin.

We need to cut the fat. You need us. We dont need you. Anti Dublin racism is the only racism that is striving in Ireland. Time to break away.

You can all starve for all I care. Not one fook do I give. Actually, bring back drink driving. Slaughter each other on the roads again.

Why is that the vast majority of Irish posters on here, live in Dublin, are muldoons, and have Polish girlfriends.

But never Dubs?

I picture you as a little West-Brit Dublin scanger, that pisses his tracksuit pants with fright, when he sees or hears what lies beyond the pale.

I just need to say as an Irishman. I think polish girls are some of these most beautiful women in the world. I worked with many poles for several years and thhey can be quite funny and know how to party. Maybe 1 or2 ******** but same with Irish. Generally glad poles came here to Ireland And am sorry to see some going back home. Especially the girls. Lol.

For whatever it's worth, there is a strong Celtic influence throughout many regions of Poland, among them, Cracow:-)

Cracow = Racow

When would you realize Lyzko that Celts were Sarmatians? When would you learn, my virtual friend?
