EU money was a minor factor in Ireland's boom, and that it was caused by an embrace of the market - almost by chance rather than by ideology - plus a number of lucky external factors. We will pay a hugh social price for Euro-weenie subsidies in the gradual erosion of our sovernty and the adaptation of their regulations (EU carbon tax) and directives (see bent bananas) and their refugees and their army of 'green councilor's, rampant anti-Americanism and anti-Catholic, anti-family etc.

The influx of Poles have been welcomed here as they come looking for opportunity, not euro-welfare statism. I don't consider myself european as they give me the creeps. Oh yeah, and I hope the US wins the ryder cup.

yeah building the infrastructure and granting large subsidies wasn't the reason for Intel and others to get settled in Dublin area, it was Jamesons and tin flutes....

(nothing against the later)
