Should the UK withdraw from the European Union?

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.

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

 @9ZVJZF3answered…6 days6D

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

Not right now, maybe later.

 @9ZHJK2Kanswered…3wks3W

No, but Ireland should seek to reform the EU away from its current direction of increased military and global interference.

 @9ZFSGBYanswered…3wks3W

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.

 @9MY38KGanswered…6mos6MO

Not at present and not over migration, but I do think we should continue to evaluate our relationship with the EU.

 @9F5WPFPanswered…1yr1Y

Yes, but over a 10-year period at least in order to ensure a smooth transition towards a self-sufficient country.

Europe on Edge as Critical Cables Severed Near Nord Stream Blast Zone

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius on Tuesday said "nobody believes" that two broken telecommunications cables in the Baltic Sea were "accidentally cut.""We have to conclude, without knowing exactly who did it, that it is a hybrid action and we also have to assume — without knowing it — that it is sabotage," Pistorius told reporters in Brussels on the sidelines of a Council of the European Union meeting.The Finnish network company Cinia said Monday it was investigating a broken undersea internet cable running between Santahamina near Helsinki and Rostock in Germany — in a submarine incident that sparked political alarm in Berlin and Helsinki.The 1,173 kilometer-long cable follows a similar route to the Russia-to-Germany Nord Stream gas pipelines, which exploded in September 2022 in an apparent act of sabotage.Also speaking on the sidelines of the meeting in Brussels, Finnish Defense Minister Antti Häkkänen said: “We are now investigating what has happened. We have good capabilities through all of this to investigate what has happened and who has been there.”Finland’s Europe Minister Joakim Strand called the incident "concerning.""Our authorities together with the companies are proactively investigating the case. The telecommunications have been re-routed to back-up connections and practical impacts have been minimal. The cable of course will be repaired. It is too soon to speculate on any causes but of course this is concerning," he added.The suspected case of sabotage comes as European foreign ministers, meeting in Warsaw on Tuesday, warned that Russia is “systematically attacking” Europe’s security architecture.
