And the EU said, OK, Ireland, it's time to update your infrastructure.

If you want to be a proper EU member state, you're going to need roads.

And here are the 10 basic things that a country needs in terms of infrastructure.

Here's the mandate to do it.

Here's how to do it.

And here's the money to do it.

And we built those.

And then the multinationals came in and gave us money.

So we've never had to actually build the institutions themselves.

to build things.

And this is what I call this institutional architectural gap.

We have never needed to grow up because we've always had the parent giving us the pocket money.

In this case, you know, the pocket money just happens to be billions of euros.

So we've never actually had to generate this wealth ourselves.

decide ourselves to build something because somebody else has always made that decision for us.

So now the EU is not here.

Britain is not here.

The Catholic Church is less involved in Irish way of life.
