		<description>Hey Krystian are you going to have a story on your blog about Woychiech Kasprzak, the man who brutally raped a woman in Mayo? I would love to know who the Limerick flooring company is that employed this animal, and why the Polish community are not doing more to oust these people and preserve the name of good Polish workers in Ireland, unfortunately it is them who will get blamed!</description>

		<description>After a bit of investigation in to the business of ICP (the immigration control platform) i have to say well....im still laughing my ass off, basically its one weird bitter old woman by the name of Aine Ni Chonnail posing as a whole organization, its basically a poor business idea in disguise feeding off the ignorance and scaremongering of the dumber Irish with more money than brains. These organizations are exactly what i mean when i say some Irish business has exploited immigration at the expense of ordinary decent Irish people</description>

		<description>Yes Changeling we are proud, but its a country we want people to understand well enough to stay in, however the Polish have made no effort other than a minority such as Justyna who despite her rhetoric who will find it difficult if not impossible to ever gain acceptance in Ireland. A no vote to Lisbon is a no vote to Europe, just to reiterate, the problem is not migrant workers the problem is greedy irish industrialists who exploit them at ordinary irish peoples expense

		<description>Immigration. Its a tough one. I am English, and often visit Ireland. I have heard many Irish people complain about emigrants, in much the same vein as my old nan used to speak about the Irish in England. Only the law prevents a "NINA" situation for the Poles in the UK and Ireland.
I think the Irish should be proud to have a country that people want to come to.</description>

		<description>Hi,

I'm neither Irish nor Polish, neverthelles this issue seems to be very interesting to me.
First, Ireland has never been imigrant country, and now it's been faced with many Polish newcomers.
On the other hand, I know that polish nation has been known as the "nation of emmigrants", due to some historical reasons.
I thought that catholicism will be more cohesive factor than it is, but it seems that your own religion is more connected to some other aspects (nation, region, native "enemies" and so).

But really, I don't see much of common interests between those two nations, and the goals seem to be quite different:
domestic people are afraid to loose something, while visitors have their own interests, to earn as much money as possible and go back to their country.

Enough philosophy from me for tonight.

		<description>Well, it looks like you are all having a hard time.. 
It's quite painful to hear all the negative comments.I'm polish myself. I,ve been here for 3 years. I'm studying at UCC in Cork and cannot imagine living in Poland. Ireland is my home now. I have lots of Irish friends too! and we get on great!!! I have never been insulted or treated badly by the Irish. Quite the opposite.
I understand your concern and dissatisfaction though. Most of the polish who come to Ireland are only looking for quick money, they dont speak English (dont even try to learn) and do not blend with Irish communities. I am angry and disappointed about it too! as it dosnt serve anyone!!!! 
But please, people, since we live here together please lets not make it harder for ourselves. Hostility and anger only brings hostility and anger!! Do you really want it? I dont. Lets think how improve things and maybe do something instead of sitting down and complaining! I'm doing my best here!!!! why woudnt you? If you reject us we wont feel encouraged to socialize at all!!! I know its very simplistic picture I'm presenting here but there is a lot of truth in it. So maybe lets drop our nationalistic prides and prejudice and lets do something for the good of us all!! All the best and good luck J.</description>

		<description>Roger I have to say I agree completely with your comments, it is the sad truth and unfortunately the odd good Pole Like Krystian is tarred with the same brush, and to back u up there, all the bleedin heart liberals wud do well to remember a lot of the Irish were pelted with stones when they arrived in Ellis island. Roger I would suggest looking at organizations such as the Immigration control platform (ICP) The book must be closed and more importantly the Irish business's who exploited the situation recorded for their apathy towards their own people.</description>

		<description>A Chara,
I have posted here on two other occasions and stated my case that the problem is not the nationality of the immigrant but the quantity and lack of control. The Polish make no effort to integrate. They are generally abrupt, loud and show no respect for the country that allowed them to pour in. They spend little and want everything for nothing. They dont mix with the irish , they dont join any sports clubs or get involved in any community projects. They drive banged up old cars, with no insurance or tax and give false address's and they use the old "no speak english" when it suits them. They have our rivers cleaned of fish, the list goes on. The sooner that most of them go back to Poland, the better for Ireland. We need to keep our culture and our "irishism". And to you Fernando, dont come that crap about all the irish going to America. we did not emmigrate in such vast numbers. The influx of Polish to Ireland as a percentage is in the region of 15 percent of our population as stated by a goverment minister in a period of 5 years. The population of Spain is approx 40million, so a similar influx to Spain would equate to 6 million Poles arriving in Spain in a 5 year period. Do you think the Spanish people would accept this or would the Polish accept this in their country. I dont think so. To compare the irish going to america would be the equivalent of 30 million Irish arriving in a 5 year period. As I stated before I have no problem with anyone coming to work in Ireland but it must be regulated. The open door policy is a disaster. i am tired of going into shops, restaurants, hotels etc. and having to speak slowly to get something and feeling like an alien in my own country. Our great-grandparents and grandparents sacrificed a lot including their blood for the freedom of this country only now for us to give it away to europe and the poles.
Our nation is not even 100 years old yet. I'm proud of my country and agree with most of the comments by "NATIONALIST" above. Are we a racist nation ? of course we are and have been so for 800 years. We also must protect our future and our jobs. Our college students cant get any summer work because of the polish. We are afraid to ask for a payrise incase we are replaced by polish. Why should we pay allowances for children in Poland? Things are going to have to change in Ireland our we will be over run by Polish and other eastern europeans, what do we owe them ?
I am sick and tired of listening to the "do-gooders".
On a final note I can only say that the sooner they all go back the better.
Slán and God save Ireland.</description>
