Ms Nicola Byrne:

We have a huge advantage because we have been so open in Europe, and with so many Polish people and other nationalities now living here, the benefit of having such an open border and welcoming attitude has been part of our success. It will continue to be a success. The Polish community is vibrant and there is a Croatian community, a Romanian community and many others that we have yet to tap. There is much to be gained by spending more time and energy focusing on them instead of our nearest neighbour.
