Senator Mansergh has read many fine articles during the years in relation to free trade. When Seán Lemass announced in the 1960s that Ireland was to join the Anglo-Irish Free Trade Area Agreement, he tried to argue that it would be good for everybody in the long term. When we joined the EEC in 1973, we had to argue that free trade would be good for everybody. It was hard to explain to workers in factories in Athlone, Mullingar, Athy and Kildare that went to the wall that free trade would be good for them in the long run. Free trade has been very good for the country and we have benefited from a larger market. It is hard to explain to people that, although they are suffering now, they will benefit in the long term. I can understand the reason an individual who is suffering would not appreciate the point too much.
