Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs
Ireland's Role in the Future of the European Union: Discussion
3:20 pm
Mr. Dan O'Brien:
We are rich, but we have stopped growing. The poor part of the world is growing fast and catching up. There is a shift in the sense of where there is growth, but are we getting poorer because it is getting richer? The answer is "No". We have got opportunities to boost our growth. The Deputy referred to the BRIC countries. We have opportunities to boost our growth by plugging into those new markets. It is potentially a win-win for everybody.
