Now some questions about ‘migrant workers’, that is people who come to Northern Ireland to work but not necessarily to stay permanently. For example someone from one of the Eastern European countries that have joined the EU.
Suppose a house in your immediate neighbourhood was sold or rented to migrant workers from Eastern Europe. How comfortable or uncomfortable would you feel with these new neighbours?
