You don't understand what it was like man, we had a deer, a noble stag, on our Punt coin, and we killed it. We fcking killed it. Ahh those were the days. I say we bring back the punt, not the whole currency, just the pound coin with the stag, it can be our €1.

I'd go down to the pub in the village and buy condoms with them. 1 pound for a pack. Those were the days. Before the evil EU came in and now they cost €6.

Ireland has tremendous soft political power in the EU for a country of it's size. It otherwise would not have. I also think you need to educate yourself a small bit on the EU political processes. All MEP's are voted for by the voter. The EU has done wonders for the Irish economy. For many years Ireland was a net recipient from the EU. Where do you think all those road building schemes came from the sky?

One of the biggest mistakes we ever made.
