Republic of Ireland set to be Europe’s fastest-growing economy in 2016
The Republic’s Central Statistics Office (CSO), whose incredible growth figures earlier in the year were branded “leprechaun economics”, showed the country is on course to have the fastest- growing economy in Europe this year.
The value of all business in the country, measured by gross domestic product, jumped by 4% in the three months to September, the CSO said.
Irish-owned enterprises enjoyed growth of 3.2%, suggesting there are little or no signs that the UK’s decision to split from Europe has yet affected Irish trade.
