Does the terms of our monetary support (bonds etc) allow for us to leave with none penalty? Will we be on position to continue to access European funding as required?
On an immediate point I think it would mean removal of all agri subsidies which would decimate rural Ireland. Big picture might look OK but there are thousands of families only surviving due to CAP supports we aināt getting that from UK. The multiplier effect of having this cashflow in rural Ireland will reverse meaning large amounts of ancillary businesses will struggle. How are companies like Kerry and Glanbia fixed if large proportions of their suppliers base go out of business?
I said this in another thread last week but I donāt have an issue with the principal of leaving but Iām not sure we have the capability in government to manage it in an orderly fashion and Iām not sure we can survive the initial impact. Long term we might be ok but how far down the road is that? Would we have survived the last collapse out of Europe? Imagine the cuts imposed if we had that hole in our cashflows in the morning
Heās talking about @The_Most_Infamous saying we should leave the EU and leave the entire running of the show up to Fianna FĆ”il as it worked so spectacularly in the past.
The micks love being told what to do. It absolves them of responsibility and gives them time to get drunk. Thatās why they love Europe. Plenty of handouts too
When Ireland vote to leave the EU tit, we perhaps can get on the soapbox.
Please bear in mind that this lovely country indicated that if it meant a few bob more in tax, theyād leave the North to rot.
If youāre referring to the GF agreement, wtf that that have to do with a debate on whether the UK should stay in or leave the EU? The Republic of Ireland gave up a territorial claim to NI, a claim that was completely and absolutely meaningless as not a finger was raised to do anything about said claim for the almost 80 years of its existence.
Iām not. Iām referring to the disgusting quite extensive survey published last year on peopleās attitude to repatriation of the six counties. The majority voted for, but then voted against if it meant a small tax rise.
