Hungary: ‘Enlargement will not boost immigration’

The head of Hungary’s campaign for EU membership has denied that enlargement of the union would lead to an influx of foreign workers into Ireland.

Peter Balazs said that, on the contrary, EU accession would encourage Eastern European workers to stay in their homelands due to improved economic fortunes.

Mr Balazs is currently in Ireland to lobby for a 'Yes' vote in the re-run of the Nice Treaty referendum later this month.
