Ireland as a role model for Latvia ?

The differences between the living standards of Latvia and Ireland are considerable, Normunds Grostins observes. He points out that Ireland has made rapid progress over the past 20 years, above all thanks to assistance from the EU. "On Latvia's accession to the EU, Einars Repse, Prime Minister at the time, and his Foreign Minister Sandra Kalniete promised the country's growth would be similar to Ireland's. But they made no reference to the long crises and the years of mass immigration Ireland endured. Nor was any mention made of the advantages Ireland has over Latvia. Ireland is not a member of NATO but a neutral state. Its military spending is therefore considerably lower than ours, leaving more money for social programmes. Latvians living there in turn benefit from such programmes."
