Is it scandalous is it? How about the billions the EU gave in structural funds to you and your country that that has happily been frittered away in wasteful projects, backhanders and corruption? The EU is not just about pocketing its funds, it's also about abiding by its rules and duties. Do your research first before spouting about the institution that is currently lending you money to keep your country afloat.

Exactly the same as the Irish have done for the last 200 years. We would be very hypercritical to object to it now.
they only claim the difference between the amount they get at home and what we get here

so you get the hump about a poster that is angry with 20million leaving the country to people that have never had an input here but find it perfectly ok to call the Irish corrupt and paint us as underhand wasters, nice.

After the Beef Tribunal and the plethora of others Tribunal and Transparecncy Internationals recent report....Ireland still has a problem with corruption..
I didnt notice the poster saying that Irish people were corrupt,where did it say that?
I also dont get the impression that poster was angry about the 20m leaving the country,but rather that , they were being accused of fraud.

This is stretching things a bit.
Are you saying that Irish people having been claiming allowances for family members back home for 200 years?
I am guessing that this ability to claim for children not in the country is a relatively new thing.
It has not been a one way street. The value of fish taken from what was once our national waters by our EU partners is greater than the value of all the EU benefits which have been received by Ireland. .
+1 €55 billion worth of fish? Not likely!
Actually €200 Billion since 1974 according to EU Statistics. At the moment EU Fishery is approximatley €20 billion pa of which 40% of edible fish are fished in Irish territorial waters (90% of which are hauled by non Irish based vessels)
After Germany Ireland is the second greatest indirect contributor to the EU coffers because of this (declining) natural asset.
