They are already doing the same thing for Irish people going there. The Irish need to have a visa and a work permit in order to work in either the US or Australia. I think we should adopt the same policy in this country.
You can adopt that policy towards non-EU nationals. Freedom of movement of goods and people are one of the basic laws of EU.
True that only Ireland, UK and Sweden open their labour markets immediately. Other countries negotiated 2 or 5 years period before implementing all the freedoms towards new EU countries.
Then was time to rise opposition to immigration. Now it is like talking about history. There is not much you can do legally. You can of course encourage people to go back, fund tickets for some of them but you can't force anyone.
As far as I know all countries except Germany and Austria opened their labour markets for Poles by now.
And believe me, Ireland is no dream destination any more. According to research among people thinking about emigration in Poland, Netherlands and Norway are now very high on list of laces to go. (Norway is not part ok EU but they decide they need workers, the same was true about Iceland, and I think Switzerland is thinking about the same if they didn't drop restriction yet)
We have TV and newspapers in Poland (I know, hard to believe) and every child knows you have serious recession, so Ireland is last place to go now. Don't worry about mass migration. No one is coming
About migration in first place.
You needed people to do the jobs, we were happy to work. As simple as that. Now people are loosing jobs and those who came to Ireland just for money will come back home. But there is group of people who like their new home and they will stay and integrate with society (if they not integrated yet).
I mean as long as someone like you won't decide to kick them out. It would hurt only those who care about Ireland and want to stay there.
About stealing jobs.
A lot of jobs were actually saved. Employers who couldn't find affordable work force would move they factories overseas much earlier.
Dell would be gone few years ago were there no immigrants from Eastern Europe.
By the way many people in Poland are not happy at all about Dell coming to our country. We understand they'll be gone to Ukraine or someone else in few years.
Someone mentioned above that multinational companies employ no more than 100-200k people.
It is a lot in such small country. Those are only directly employed by them. There is many more contractors and suppliers which are Irish.
By the way do you want to kick Brits out as well? How about Spanish or Italians?0 -

I am from Poland, have read this thread and have some thoughts ...
first of all, Poland is not an Eastern Europe, it is in Middle Europe
next- most of us appreciate fact that we can work in this country and live a better life than in Poland which isn't as rich as Ireland (yet:)) We try to do our's jobs good, be friendly and nice such as many of you are nice to us. also it's a fact that many of people who came from Poland are not the best educated and don't make the top of Polish society(not even the middle class).
Most of us will go back- we are buying houses in Poland or saving to buy them. We will come back when the situation in our cities will be better, but we came here because we were needed - I was found in Poland by an Irish employer.
yes, I know, we have faults but we are different from you
and yes - we have beautiful women
Hope to spend nice time in Ireland..0 -

Indeed! It's perfect geographical center of Europe. I read the same few weeks back. Although people call it east because they still use old political definitions.I am from Poland, have read this thread and have some thoughts ...

Depend on what do you consider as "better life". I know several Irish who moved to Poland for life.next- most of us appreciate fact that we can work in this country and live a better life than in Poland which isn't as rich as Ireland (yet:))0 -
