    We both know that figure is misleading. Ireland would never have extracted that kind of value from its fishing industry over the same period.

    When the French and Dutch voted no their politicians listened and got it changed. Who's working for who?

    They got it changed from an EU constitution, that would require pretty much every member state to hold a referendum, to a treaty, which only needs to be ratified by parliaments in every European state bar Ireland.

    This topic was not about the pros and cons of the Lisbon Treaty.

    It was about the audacity of expecting the EU, where Ireland has been largely perceived as rejecting the EU by their rejection of the Lisbon Treaty, expecting a huge cash hand out.
