A number of stories have appeared in the Irish media about the drunken antics of Irish youths who have moved in large numbers to Australia since the Celtic Tiger crashed.
<snip> Are these isolated incidents or are the Irish a more significant nuisance than other immigrants ?

I can't think of many other Olympic medal winners whose relatives would be barred en masse from celebrating in local pubs, can you ?

Nevin was Ireland's first medal winner at the Olympics yet his relatives - who are all from Traveller/Gypsy stock were barred from watching the fight in his home town. |

Is there? Never witnessed behaviour like that in decades of office jobs...
To be fair I did laugh it off but someone got wind of it and before I knew it HR, everyone and their dog wanted me to put a written complaint in. I declined snce it would just make it worse and I was only a sub-contractor who would have been onto another project a month later. What really surprised me this wasn't some building site and the bloke involved had never said boo to me before. |

I was told by someone in the state office of a VERY large Australian company that I shouldn't have Australia Day off since I'm not an Australian. When I pointed out I was a citizen I was told "a piece of paper doesn't make you one".

Yes.
I'm trying to decipher the OP's connection between their original post about Irish trouble in Australia and their next post about trouble for a family in Ireland. Stuff that could happen anywhere, and the connection with one random event and trouble in Australia and point of it all is a bit lost on me but maybe I'm dim. |

I also got my first taste of it fairly recently, being singled out for racist abuse via a widespread email from senior management. The excuse - from my similarly horrified manager? "that staff member is under a bit of pressure in his personal life" Bully for him, that describes most of us. That was in May, still waiting for the apology. |
