Immigration Control Platform (ICP) (Irish: An Feachtas um Smacht ar Inimirce[4]) is a political group which seeks to restrict immigration to Ireland. The organisation's website describes it as an "Irish NGO" funded by subscriptions and donations.[5] It was not registered in Ireland as a political party, but between 2002 and 2011 it ran non-party candidates in elections, with their election material displaying the Immigration Control Platform branding.

Far-right groups allied with the No campaign, such as the Anti-Immigration Control Platform, have argued that enlargement will lead to Ireland being 'swamped' by Poles, Czechs and Hungarians who will be entitled to work anywhere in the EU.
