We will soon be out of the top 30, so no need to worry.

Not surprising really, in 2016 the taxpayers of Ireland received from the European Union 23 euros per head over what they contributed. Since its accession to the EU the country has received from the European Union €41441 million over what it has contributed.
And they didn’t have to lift a finger.

Funnily enough, we are not 27th on the foreign Aid list.

Perhaps if we stopped foreign aid, we might climb a bit higher in the cart?

Not surprised in the slightest we have discussed this elsewhere on several occasions. Why would you expect a different result?

Maybe if they met in the middle, we could at least break even.

Hi

It is really dead easy, we are a low wage, low skills, low productivity Country.

We still have delusions of grandeur to boot.

Re: Richest countries in the World

Swimfeeders, you are correct, and also , but not all, a low work ethic.
Maybe some think im wrong there, but I can only compare the attitudes to work in the country I live in and the U K, and i know its now going on 12 years since i left the U k but I do have a BIL in a senior management position in the U k and he is in agreement with me re U K workers. In his position he has 4 polish workers who far outstrip his U k people in their attitude to work and their level of performance.
I emphasize again this does not include all the u k work people .
