Abstract

The following interviews with practitioners of Polish-Irish intercultural relations give voice to two Ireland-based Poles and two Irishmen who, in different ways, have reacted to and represented the new Polish presence in Ireland. Chris Binchy and Piotr Czerwiński have focused on the experiences of Polish labour migrants in Dublin in their respective novels Open-handed (2008) and Przebiegum życiae (2009). Dermot Bolger explored, among other things, the historical parallels between Polish and Irish histories of migration in his play The Townlands of Brazil (2006). Anna Wolf is the artistic director and producer of the Dublin-based Polish Theatre Ireland (PTI).
