What a joke is this? Ireland friendly country. Maybe you mean Scotland? That small conservative anti-immigrant xenophobic island is no friendly at all. The people are really out of life without sense of warmth. There is coldness everywhere. I live in Ireland for 2 years and I can say this is the only country I didn't make friends... I've seen Irish avoiding speaking to foreigners. They are dangerously closed community. Where is the friendliness is this country? I believe everywhere the people are less racists and more polite. What the hell Ireland? NOWAY

We're apprehensive of the new wave of immigration because we don't it to ruin or lovely island, that's understandable, surely? After seeing what mass immigration has done to Britain, we don't want it to happen to us.

To call Irish racists is ridiculous, some of my best mates are Polish who have only been in the country a about 3 years. I think you should have stayed longer than 2 years to experience Ireland, but to be honest, with an attitude like yours, i'm glad you left! We don't have room for people like you; you'll be better off in the UK where they pander to newcomers at the expense of local native people and their culture.
