Two Poles died after being attacked by a group of teenagers while they were buying chips in one of the takeaways in Drimnagh/ Dublin last Saturday. The older - 29 years old Paul has just died in St James’s Hospital in Dublin. They were stabbed with screwdriver.
The gangs of Irish kids and teenagers left unattended by their parents (who are both drunk or stoned) , kids taking and selling cocaine, using shotguns and being extremely brutal it is a growing stereotype picture of the Irish teenagers in the suburbs of Irish cities, and thus a stereotype picture of a part of the Irish society.
I don’t know what happened. Those two Poles were arguing with Irish teenagers. I don’t know if the kids were provoked or not. It doesn’t matter now. Those deaths will rise the racist tensions and build up higher the ghetto wall between Irish society and Polish community.
The stereotypes in both communities will be a bit stronger after those deaths.

I know that some of you was curious why did I stopped updating my blog. The reason is quite simple. I was very ill (bronihical tubes infection) and I was also have been very busy with my new job. I am ok no, so my blog is going to update my blog as often as I can.
It seems that Poland is going to be much more linked with Ireland, helping the Irish culture, and the Irish film makers to make the film about James Connolly (staring Peter Mullan) . According to Onet.eu, Gdansk is going to pretend late 19th and early 20th century Dublin, because the city itself is too modern nowadays, and Gdansk is the one of the few port cities with the original late 19th and early 20th century warehouses made of red brick, very similar to the ones that used to dominate the landscape of the banks of the Liffey river. The film is going to be the most expensive in the history of Irish film industry, and it is going to be partly financed by Irish government and SIPTU (which was founded by James Connolly), as a part of 100 anniversary of Easter Rising.
I like very much the idea of making part of the film in Gdansk. Maybe one day, Irish film makers will visit my home city - Lodz, which is also very old and in some parts reminds Dublin.

There was not so many entries on Ireland on my blog recently. It is due to my 2 weeks visit to Poland, and due to the fact that after my coming back to Ireland I got (yet again) chest infection. Unfortunately, these days I couldn’t afford not to go to work, however I found some useful job to do avoiding to much physical effort - I was dealing with aerial photography marking on the photos shadowmarks (or cropmarks) that possibly indicated archaeological features. The pattern I got is roughly good picture of the archaeological situation - since we have been working on Anglo Norman village. The other good thing is a hot spot on the site, so while I was working on my laptop sitting in the jeep (used as a power supply) I could check my e-mails and I was listening to my favourite Polish radio. After coming back home, usually I was very tired and coughing, so I was in bed quite early. Unfortunately I am still ill.
However I found some time and energy to deal with some old photos prepared for my photoblog. Since couple of them are photos of Ireland I am posting them here as well. If you want to see bigger versions, just browse to www.kozerawski.com

in Dublin.
Yesterday about 14.00 hours all passengers, visitors and all crew have been evacuated out of the buildings to one of the car parks. People were forced to wait for another 3 hours. Some flights were cancelled, and the others were delayed. The hours of the flights were changing all the time, and people were very confused because of chaos.
There is a rumor that cause of the alert was a crazy man who had lifted his bag and started to scream “I have a bomb here in my bag”.
Here you have a 3 photos from the airport ramp.
