For decades, Ireland was one of the poorest countries in Europe, and its dire economic situation meant that many young Irish emigrants moved abroad in search of work. Now, however, the situation has been completely reversed. A sustained economic boom means that foreign workers including thousands of Czechs are now flocking to Ireland in search of employment. In Dublin alone, there are now so many people from the Czech Republic living there that a Czech bar has even opened up to cater for them. In this edition of Panorama, we pay a visit to Ireland's first Czech pub.
