Episode 6. The Polish Community
In Episode 6 of The New Residents Podcast, we take a closer look at one of the largest foreign communities in Kerry — the Polish community.
Why did so many Polish people move to Ireland in the 2000s? How do children from mixed families navigate identity? And what advice do long-time residents have for newcomers?
Joining us to share their stories and insights are Kasia Żbik, Community Development Worker at NEWKD, along with Beata Sobczynska and Oliver O’Shea.
