Default Laminate floor vapour barrier

Hi, I'm just putting in a wooden laminate floor over concrete (ground
floor) and was a concerned about a damp proof membrane. I've taped a
sheet of plastic to the concrete for a day or two and there is some
rising damp. I've been told by separate sources that it's fine, and I
can just use a standard plastic vapour barrier between the concrete and
the laminate, and that it's not fine, and I need to coat the floor in
polyurethene three times before laying the vapour barrier. If anyone
could shed any light I'd most appreciate it! Thank you. Sam
