So we're not exactly an exalted company on that.
We are seen as the ones who, to some degree, take advantage.
And it does emerge from time to time.
The history of Irish neutrality is not very well understood.
And
Sometimes it's probably best not to dwell too much on it at all.
I think there is an acceptance because one of the things that is on the agenda all the time from now on is strengthening European defence and security, a blurring of boundaries between the countries.
Western Military-NATO Alliance and the European Union, which was conceived of as the world's biggest peace project, now it's rapidly becoming a defence organisation as well.
Yeah.
It's pretty small pickings.
I'm reminded of Charles Haughey, who did a stellar presidency in 1990 and was thanked specifically by the German Chancellor Helmut Kohl for the tone that he set and the way he managed a crucial summit, which approved all sorts of things, including German reunification.
I'm also reminded of his protégé, Bertie Ahern, who was at the EU tiller in 2004.
What happened to Bertie Ahern?
He was at the tiller January to June 2004.
At the tail end of it, in 2004, there were local elections and Fianna Fáil sustained considerable losses.
So he became a Euro hero and a local zero at the same time.
By the way, when we talk of Charlie Haughey, he was there in 1990.
By February 1992, he had been ousted from office.
So there isn't a huge domestic dividend here.
Yes, I think all of that.
