This event advertisement does not claim for Poland "success" or otherwise. It merely refers to the fact that, as reported in the Financial Times and elsewhere: "Poland as a whole did better during the economic crisis than expected. Gross domestic product grew by 1.7 per cent, making Poland the only European Union economy that did not contract." http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/cb4bcc00-1f21-11df-9584-00144feab49a.html

ABSOLUTE SUCCESS - 900 000 people in POLAND receive salaries per month 200 euro. Thousands people there is no work. For example: theatre nurse in Cracow in the university hospital earns 600 euro per month - very funny !!!

well, if its so great in Poland, then why there is no jobs there, and polish people need to stay in ireland instead of going back to their country.
