A Polish woman is setting up a stall at a country market to advise Irish fans what to do and what to expect at Euro 2012.
Agatha Szavek came up with the idea because she wanted to give something back after receiving a warm welcome since she arrived in Ireland in 2004.
Ms Szavek (36), who lives in Co Donegal, will set up the stand at the Letterkenny Community Centre this weekend.
“We realise there are a lot of people travelling there but there is only a small knowledge of what it is like there. This is payback for the lovely hospitality we got from the Donegal community.
Ms Szavek, who has two children, has contacted the Polish embassy, which has given her lots of advice leaflets for fans.
The Polish shop where she works in Letterkenny, Your Delicatessen, has also helped her with the stall.
Ms Szavek has also compiled a small translation leaflet of phrases which she thinks the Irish fans will use at the soccer finals.
“My daughter Natalie (16) was born in Poland and will be cheering for Poland but my son Marcel (3) was born in Ireland and will be cheering on Robbie Keane. I’m stuck in the middle,” Ms Szavek says.
