I fixed it now.
They don't negotiate those dictates. Ireland's influence in Europe has about the same impact on the direction of Europe as a flea has on the direction a horse takes. Get Real!
The larger countries, the French, Italians, etc are well used to ignoring EU dictates. In Ireland we accept them all.
I suppose you still think bringing low cost competitors like Poland into the EU was a good idea. Ask the former workers in Dell what they think of that.
