Irish business groups are among the backers of a new campaign to persuade Irish people living in the United Kingdom to vote for Britain to stay in the European Union.
Irish4Europe, which will be launched on Thursday in the House of Commons, will work through Irish business networks and community groups in Britain to get its message across to the hundreds of thousands of Irish citizens living in the country.
