Including new member states?

Well, yes. They are the natural recipients of structural funds these days. It's only natural that Ireland should be a net contributor now that we have those member states!

And now we are: we switched a few years ago as I recall.

Are you sure? (none / 1)

According to this website Ireland in 2007 was still a net recipient?
Not an official website though so they might be wrong.

But it seems that according to the EU budget 2007 report (pdf-file) Ireland:
National contribution Ireland: 1586,4 mill Euro
Allocation of EU expenditure Ireland: 2166,7 mill Euro

Assuming of course that IE means Ireland. :)
