EU Money at Work


I have never seen so many tower cranes on a skyline as I saw South East of the center of Dublin. Apparently when Ireland joined the EU their economy was quite primitive and had a lot of room for growth. The EU has been pumping money in which promotes growth like this. The same goes for updating the Irish highway infrastructure. All of this money has made Ireland very prosperous recently and it brings in tons of immigrants from other parts of Europe looking for jobs as well. Interesting to see how the EU works.
