"INSTITUTO CAMOES" in Dublin, a BAD EXAMPLE
I am wainting for "Jose Saramago" several months and in the iC Web site they say soonly.
I'd like to remember this is a public institute in Portugal and the Portuguese citizens pay taxes for this.....
Many times Irish colleagues ask me if they want to learn Spanish they have "Instituto Cervantes", for freench "Alliance Francaise" and for Portuguese??????
This is just one of the bad examples of Portuguese Institutions in Ireland, but I can mention another one, maybe worst: "PORTUGUESE EMBASSY".... I will tell you my experience. Certain day my Spanish collegues told me they are registered in the Spanish Embassy, because is very important, blablabla... So I decide to call to the "Portuguese Embassy" and they explain, first If I want to go to the Embassy I need to call before in order to make an appointment and secondly They don't register the Portuguese citizens working in Ireland.
My conclusion, I am sure the Portuguese Embassor in Dublin has a good job: fantastic location "Foxrock" to have quality of life not to work close the Portuguese Citizens.
