I wonder how many of those people in the audience speak three languages and are as literate and well-educated as Pres. Higgins is?
Likely not that many is my thought!
In any event, I hope his speech will motivate others in the EU to move on!
YES THEY CAN (I hope anyway).

Neoclassical economics indeed! We know what that is all about don't we?
