Wroclaw Boy:
out of curiosity how much is it? I was under the impression around 50 PLN / month, thats expensive for many.

I was also under the impression that a gynecologist will only provide a months at a time with a come back for a check up next month, so not only do you pay for the pills every month theres a healthy regular Doctors fee thrown in for good measure.


Thats a bit ridiculous really, i mean cut out the red tape here.

My contracept pills on perscription costed me 11zł per month but it's the elemnent of my hormonal treatment so it might be cheap because its rufunded (not sure if every pill is refunded). On the packing I have price 18 zł
Few years ago I remember other kind of contracepts cost me about 23 zł (price on packing).

In the Internet there is witten in some forum that Mircogynon cost women 22zł for 3 packings! (really cheap)

Yasmine costs about 50 zł per one packing

My gyns were giving me perscription for two months usually (even when I was paying for the visits). Now I don't pay for visits.

Why your wife don't ask her gyn for perscription on 2 packings? I doubt the doc will refuse

Why Poles are in Ireland..

Well the average industrial wage in Poland is 7500 euro
in Ireland it is 37000 euro,So this is the reason why Poles etc are everywhere in Ireland.
So money is the big player and still is, my close friend applied for a graphic design job 3 days ago outside Lublin, she was offered 500 euro a month before tax. This is a third of what you would get in Ireland, for sitting on your arse while on the dole and doing nothing.
Anyone I Speak to who is Polish, simply say that life is much easier in the UK and Ireland and that you have to work real hard in Poland just to survive. A large section of the Polish population are on 40 year(and even 50yr) mortgages and paying over 60 % of their income, all due to the property bubble 2005-07.
But according to the monopolizing hand full of non Poles here,
There is no property bubble, Poles are on up to 2000 euro a month,The economy is booming and getting even better. All is well, please invest before its too late.

This is a somewhat overstated and distorted figure.

Even the term "average industrial wage" is close to meaningless.

There are 1000s upon 1000s of people who earn less than €37K.

Yes, wages are considerably higher than in Poland but I wouldn't take this 37K figure as an "average" by any means.

So The Independant mentioning it means it accurate? It's not.

Have a look at jobs on offer in Ireland and check the salaries.

there are 1000s and 1000s of workers in Poland, also who earn far far less than the average industrial wage,so its all relative...
The average industrial wage may be a lot more than the average worker is on, but it is perfect for comparing and contrasting countries, and far from meaningless.
The average industrial wage in Ireland at the moment is without doubt taking a nose dive but at the time of the mass emigration from eastern europe 2005-07 the AW was 37000 in Ireland.

Would you prefer and trust an article in a tabloid?

What's your point? Both countries get EU handouts to lure companies over. Dell obviously believes that labor in Ireland is way overpriced.

Err...no.

But strange you said say that as the Independent practically is one.

Look, even a cursory look at the CSO site will quickly tell you that the 37K figure applies to "large enterprises" - how many of those are there in Ireland? Not that many. This figure immediately drops to around 30K for smaller ones.

The construction industry earnings skew results crazily too.
