No, not really.

From an article in The Daily Telegraph:

The Irish are facing moral blackmail. If they vote No, they are told they will deprive 70 million people of the benefits they have themselves reaped from EU membership, even if the money has now virtually dried up.

Hmmm, "virtually dried up". Is that like being "a little bit pregnant"? Oh, and what about the Common Agricultural Policy (of which Ireland is a huge net recipient)? Has that dried up as well?
