Perhaps he'll finally make his mind up and actually go instead of dithering.

Ah yes, the crops our parents call children, all being raised for export!

I'm amazed at the amount of eastern europeans still living and working here while at the same time Irish people are emigrating. Very bizarre indeed.

Well now, in fairness, there is a big chance that they had the jobs the Irish were too proud to do during the boom, and they're still doing em. Ya can't sack someone based on where they're from just because you want to fill the position with someone Irish!

I didn't not not vote yes.

I'll need them for my trip to Perth in July. Gets a bit boring on that boat journey over.

Management at my work place had to send HR staff to Slovakia, Poland etc to recruit workers in 2005.

Business was expanding quickly and the Irish lads just wouldn't work there, it's physical heavy warehouse work and pay at the time of 13 euro per hour + shift allowance was sniggered at by the young Irish men.

They couldn't get any Irish lads to fill the roles and the one's that did fill the roles didn't give a **** about there jobs, not turning up half the time, messing etc so they had to get HR staff to meet agencies in east Europe to get foreign lads over here.

Management have never forgotten those days and continue to hire Polish, Slovak, Czech guys etc and some Irish with experience.

I agree fully with there policy.

Best candidate gets the job, nationality shouldn't come into it.

So seeing as the doors to Eastern Europe were only opened a year earlier, and presumably there were warehouses operational in Ireland before 2004, are you sure it wasn't just a cynical opportunistic easily-disposed-of-employees grab by management to bump up company profits? Jumping on the cheap workforce bandwagon as it were.

I love these posts about Irish people being too good for menial work, you'd swear there was never a burger served nor a toilet mopped before 2004.

"Management have never forgotten those days" - it sounds vaguely as if you're saying that the management actively discriminates against the current generation of Irish applicants based on a crop of lousy Irish workers from 8 years ago. In which case, nationality clearly does come into it.

Votes Yes in referendums

Complains about lack of jobs and people emigrating

I wouldn't say that.

They don't show favouritism if that's what you mean, they don't have a jobs for Irish policy like alot of companies.

Which is very discriminating.

It's best candidate for the job, be it Irish or foreign.

New employees are about 60% Irish, rest foreign.

Alot of the Irish lads are not happy with it, they wanted a job for there friends, family etc and a foreign lad go it instead.

Foreign lad had experience, cousin had none, they never bring that up:)

It never stops being funny how you'll always have at least one person come in and give out about non-nationals taking our jobs...in a conversation about Irish people emigrating to take other people's jobs in different countries...

Welcome to...sorry, I forgot about the hearing aid, I'll speak up...

WELCOME TO 2012, UNCLEJUNIOR! IT'S QUITE DIFFERENT TO YOUR DAY: WE'RE AS BROKE AS BACK THEN, BUT THE PRIESTS DON'T GET AWAY WITH MOLESTING ANYMORE, THE 'COLOUREDS', AS YOU CALL THEM, HAVE EQUAL RIGHTS AND IT'S LEGAL TO BE GAY NOW. YOU'LL HATE IT.
