Abstract: Abstract Since the mid-1990s, the Irish economy has experienced large periods of growth and contraction by international and historic standards. In Fig. 1, we show rates of growth in real GDP and real GNP for the period 1996–2011, clearly highlighting the contrasting performance of the Irish economy over the period. In the mid- to late-1990s, the Irish economy grew at annual rates in the region of 10 %, before growth moderated in the early years of the 2000s, with annual rates of growth around 5 % meaning that Ireland’s economic performance still looked remarkably healthy. However, when the global crisis of 2007/2008 emerged, the Irish economy proved extremely vulnerable.
