On April 11, 2025, HOMS Assist, a trusted legal support organisation, proudly participated in a pivotal meeting with Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska, the Marshal of the Polish Senate. Organized by the Chargé d’affaires of Poland in Dublin, this dialogue focused on the current challenges and needs of the Polish community living in Ireland. From legal aid to integration support, the discussion highlighted the importance of addressing issues that polish expatriates face and how organisations like ours can contribute.
At HOMS Assist, we believe in being more than just legal advisors; our ongoing mission is to be a bridge between the Polish community and the Irish system. With years of dedicated service, we’ve strived to make life in Ireland easier for Poles, ensuring they feel truly supported in their second home.
Why Supporting Polish Communities in Ireland Matters
Poles represent one of the largest migrant communities in Ireland, contributing to its social fabric and economy. However, moving to a new country comes with its challenges—from navigating a foreign legal system to integrating into new social environments. Without proper support, such obstacles can lead to feelings of isolation and stress, further complicating the process of settling down.
HOMS Assist recognises these hurdles and works tirelessly to address them. By providing legal assistance tailored specifically to Polish expatriates’ needs, we aim to alleviate these pressures, allowing individuals and families to thrive. Through bilingual services and a client-centred approach, we foster trust, bridging language and cultural gaps.
What We Do to Support the Polish Community
