Another important issue involves the need for competitiveness while remaining anti-exploitative. We must ensure that Irish industry and the country's economy are competitive while also ensuring that workers, wherever they come from, are not exploited. One of the great difficulties recently has been that many projects to provide infrastructure in this country have been won by non-Irish companies at a price that has undercut European Union industry, essentially because they exploited workers and were not required to deal with health and safety, environmental and other regulations at home. All those countries and all those of us who supported enlargement under the treaty made the point very carefully that many people were voting "No" because they did not want eastern European countries, industries and people undercutting them and taking jobs in Ireland. That was ridiculous, nonsensical and illogical thinking.
