Since 1973, Irish agriculture has received net transfers from the EU of close to €40 BILLION, dragging the entire sector out of poverty.

Doubly sickening to see a recipient of this taxpayer largesse lecture anyone on “looking after our own people first”

In the US, a similar argument (“we need to fix problems at home before we start spending money on other countries”) led to the destruction of USAID. The money spent on food aid by USAID all went to American farmers as, essentially, a government subsidy.

I think the problem is that you've got farmers big enough to be spokespersons that they can speak out both sides of their mouth when they need to. either claiming to represent the poorer small farms, while lobbying to have subsidies disproportionately go to the larger businesses
