IBEC 'regret' restrictions on Bulgarians and Romanians

IBEC have expressed disappointment at the Govt decision to insist on work permits for citizens from Bulgaria and Romania.

The business and employers group today said that while it understood the decision to put in place a work permit regime for citizens from Bulgaria and Romania, it regretted that the proposals would not give preference to these new EU citizens over non-European Economic Area nationals in a more definitive manner.
