The Minister spoke about myths. The myth I wish to highlight is that of Ireland as a country that has been a net benefactor from its membership of the European Union, something I disagree with. It is true that we have benefited substantially in financial terms but we have also contributed to the European project. It is an insult to graduates, industrialists and politicians to say that Ireland has benefited only. We have contributed. In light of that contribution I feel that central and eastern European countries are in a position to contribute by offering their services and expertise. We can learn from them and have a rich European project based on that.
