While browsing my usual website for Polish news Gazeta Wyborcza<\/a>, just by accident I noticed an ad banner on top of the page – to my surprise it was… Eircom’s advertisement \ud83d\ude42 all in Polish, obviously targeted to Polish community in Ireland :). When clicked on the banner, Eircom’s website opened… again, all in Polish \ud83d\ude42 Eircom PL<\/a>. The link to this page is also available from their main website Eircom’s main website<\/a><\/p>\n

It is amazing how much things have changed since I arrivied here nearly 6 years ago. I have also heard about Polish leaflets available in EBS and Bank of Ireland, and recently saw an electronic information point (I think there is a proper name for this) in Bank of Ireland branch displaying multilingual information, including Polish, Latvian, Lithuanian and few more :). Government agencies also have multilingual brochures, online resources etc. (for example Oasis<\/a>).<\/p>\n

I think in relatively small country like Ireland, with population of around 4 million, a community of approximately 200K (no one knows exaclty), a 5%, is a significant buying force, which companies do not want to ignore. There are Polish shops, newspaper, restaruants here, they are all run by Polish people, now Irish companies are opening to imigration communities, definitely seeing opportunities there \ud83d\ude42 Interesting developments \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
