Irish immigration expected to slow by 50 percent

Immigration to Ireland is projected to decline by half next year due, in part, to improvements in the labor markets of central and eastern European Union countries, according to a new report from Ireland's Training and Employment Authority (FAS). Poland, for example, is hiring many workers for the UEFA Euro 2012 football championship, while there is increased competition for labor in England due to the London Olympics in 2012. Generally, there is also a slowdown in the Irish construction industry as projects come to an end.
