We need a "MONUMENTAL GOOD NEWS" category. Ireland has immigrants, not just emigrants. What a turnaround.

They used to say that about the Irish! And then came the Kennedy clan.

Hey why shouldn't the Poles and the Irish get along. They're both Catholic and they both like to have a good time. Ireland will do better with 150,00 Poles than France has done with 4 million North Africans.

The amazing thing is that Ireland still has only half the population it had 150 years ago.

Lizol, I'm leaving for a month's vacation in Ireland in October. I'll need some good Polish expressions. Hook me up!

They were smart enough to keep the immigrants from the Euro countries and not face the Muslim hoards.

Hopefully the Poles can help re-evangelize Ireland.

>>>A fully homogeneous Irish society has opened themselves for foreigners and it seems that Poles have found a common ground and language.<<<

Where did this writer get the idea that Ireland is a "fully
homogeneous society?" That is one thing it has never been. All sorts of people, including Viking invaders, wrecked Spanish sailors, and Norman conquerors have been fully integrated into Irish society within a generation of their appearance on Irish soil.

Welcome to the Poles! They are a good match, with their industriousness and their spirituality. Surely they will prove to be a good addition to the mix.

Ireland changed it's tax laws about twenty years ago to encourage immigration. I've seen reports that Scandinavians in particular are flooding in to buy up farms and are revitilizing the agricultural sector.
As long as they can keep out Muslim sheep farmer's, they should do well in the long run.

About half of my ancestors came from Ireland. I am so glad that Ireland's economy has rocketed to the top of the EU, with low taxes and free enterprise. It makes sense that Poles would do well in Ireland. Poles share many of the same values as the Irish.
