So, when countries like Ireland benefit from the EU it's bad, but when countries like France benefit from the EU then it's fine?

Though some Irish members of the EU benefit, it harms the EU as a whole. That's why it's bad, not because Ireland is benefitting.

I understand what you're saying, but lots of things harm other EU members while benefiting some. That's why many countries joined the EU in the first place.

They joined because they could see how harming some states in certain scenarios benefits the EU as a whole.
