Proceeding contribution from William Cash (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 November 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Communities (Finance) Bill.
European Communities (Finance) Bill
I would like to draw to the right hon. Gentleman's attention an extremely interesting book by Roy Foster called ““Luck and the Irish””. I heard Roy Foster on ““Today”” or the Andrew Marr programme the other day, explaining that although there is no doubt that the EU contributed to the manner in which the Irish have become far more wealthy, which I greatly enthuse about, it was to do with the American money that was invested and the cutting of tax rates.
