The agriculture industry in Ireland has been particularly fortunate in that the CAP fitted, as we used to say. The policy was not necessarily economically wise or socially just. In fact, one could not describe it as one or the other because it gave a great deal to the rich and much less to the poor. Small farmers got less than big farmers. Nevertheless, Ireland happened to produce the right products and the policy suited us. People have regularly forecast that Ireland will become a net contributor to the EU in three or four years. That has not yet happened. The reason is that Irish agriculture still attracts a level of assistance from Europe that puts Ireland's net position well into the black. In fact, Ireland is the biggest net recipient of European funds at present. It is approaching €400 per capita, which is a large amount.
