I just had a look at the cia fact page for ireland. It is a minefield of statistical information. There is more information on this than you will get from any irish government website. One of the most interesting is that 17% of our exports come from britain but we import 37% of our imports from britain. Maybe this another reason why our inflation rate is so high as sterling is now very expensive. Also the growth in the irish population at 1.143% is one of the highest in the world comppared to 0.27% for britain. also it has external debt at $1.392 trillion, a massive figure presumably this is the debt of all people in the country combined
