    Abstract

    During the eighties Irish citizens became aware of a particular problem of sustainability. This was at the time when the nation was living beyond its means. Financial assets (our international balance of payments and government budget) were in the red and deteriorating, and it became evident that continuation of such behaviour was impossible. Ireland faced the prospect of growing trade deficits and government borrowing, manifesting themselves in ever higher debt interest and requiring ever higher taxes.
