Ireland: Permits continue for Bulgarian and Romanian workers

The employment minister, Micheál Martin, has announced that the government will continue with the requirement for Bulgarian and Romanian workers to apply for work permits to participate in the Irish labour market.

The Irish government was widely expected to decide, in line with the UK, to impose work restrictions on people from Bulgaria and Romania when they join the EU on 1 January 2007.
