    Abstract

    Following a very severe contraction during 2009, the decline in the Irish economy stabilised somewhat during 2010. Overall Gross Domestic Product (GDP) increased by 0.25 per cent during 2010. Employment averaged 1.85 million during 2010, a fall of 4.0 per cent on 2009 figures. The rate of unemployment during 2010 averaged 13.25 per cent. With regard to overall migration, an increase in net outward migration from 7,800 in April 2009 to 34,500 in April 2010 saw the highest level of net outward migration since 1989. The total number of immigrants into the State in the year to April 2010 fell by 26,500 to 30,800. Emigration among Irish nationals increased significantly during 2010 (from 18,400 in April 2009 to 27,700 in April 2010) and they were the largest single grouping at 42 per cent. Overall emigration of non‐Irish nationals fell during this time period (from 46,800 in April 2009 to 37,600 in April 2010), constituted mainly by nationals of EU12 Member States. Immigration of all non‐ Irish national groups showed a decline during this time.
