Ireland: the au pair’s perspective
Call it an acute sense of national insecurity if you will, but if Ireland is such a wonderful place to come to, then why do so many of us go as far away from it as we can afford to whenever we can?
The view of the foreign au pair is, in principle at least, about as objective an analysis as you can get: they come from outside the country, they’re in a unique position to observe our society from within, they’re only here on a short-term basis and they’re young enough to say what they think without worrying about offending anyone.
