‘In Ireland it seems to be more relaxed. It is very laid back,’ says Bantry Bay Rugby Club player and local chef Andre Polivka
“Every time Ireland plays France in the rugby there is that friendly animosity. But I think I have been here long enough to support Ireland. Hopefully Ireland will be able to win the World Cup and we will be very happy with it. Us turning Irish will take the slagging levels out of the conversation.”
“When I go to France people talk about ‘is there going to be a bus strike?’ Fear seems to be everywhere. “It has been almost two years since we started. Until you receive the invite you don’t know exactly when it is going to happen. Mr Polivka said he decided to contact The Irish Times about the decision because he regularly sees articles about citizenship ceremonies but “there aren’t too many French turning Irish”.
