Should Ireland withdraw from the European Union?
In January of 1973, the Republic of Ireland joined the European Economic Community, now known as the European Union (EU). Proponents argue that leaving the EU could cost Ireland a permanent loss of 3.1% GDP. Opponents of EU membership argue that it leaves Ireland's economy vulnerable to the economic declines of other European countries including Italy and Greece.

If it is saveable it should be remade into an organisation that promotes peace, justice and solidarity and looks after its people and others struggling in this world
@9ZWFB367mos7MO
I don't think we should withdraw, However, as mentioned elsewhere by me, yes rules for migrants should be adjusted in general, but also, I think that there are certain issues with other EU countries that the Irish government seem to just roll over for
@9ZVJZF37mos7MO
No but renegotiate for strict limits on immigration into the country and terms of our money contributions and the right to not introduce hate speech laws and any gender ideology or any LGBQT recognition
@9ZFSGBY8mos8MO
Yes, in order to reduce Irish complicity with Fortress Europe and the genocide in Gaza. Additionally to prevent capitalism from being enshrined in supranational law.
@9MY38KG1yr1Y
Not at present and not over migration, but I do think we should continue to evaluate our relationship with the EU.
@B5SSD2N4wks4W
Ireland should be a democratic-socialist republic, therefore we should not be active participants in EU.
@B4LP8293mos3MO
No, but if the EU continues to aid and support imperial countries like Israel and Britain, it is right to withdraw
@B2GVP7S6mos6MO
This is a catch 22 where even if we did leave we don’t have the leader with the vision or ability to manage it successfully
