"Your not guaranteed a job you know regardless of your qualification", the FAS development officer said to me. Your chances though can depend on where you're from it seems. Lack of English is a positive advantage. You can insult Irish customers in Latvian and they won't know it, dy'see? :)
Plus with all these intellegent qualified Eastern European folks with degrees perhaps in Tropical Equine Diseases and the like, we need them here to do the jobs that us lazy Irish sods won't do (that won't pay us a decent wage). Ewww I am naughty.
"It [Merchants Quay] is also calling on the Government to abandon current regulations which prevent such newcomers from receiving social welfare assistance."
Or heres a better idea bill their countries of origin for the cost of sending them back and let them get welfare there.
Could a solution in fact be to say, "don't come here please we're full up now, look you might not be earning loads of lolly in Lublin west you might be sitting on a bridge beggin between a Roma femme fatale with a moustache and a drug addict who you'll feel sorry for as long as he doesn't look at you."
Maybe not all that but you get the idea if you have some common sense.
