Abstract

Real growth in GNP is estimated to be 4.4 per cent in 2007. This means that 2007 has been another year of strong economic growth in Ireland. However, the growth will have been fuelled by a number of unsustainable components, including the effects of SSIAs and a highly stimulatory fiscal stance. Employment will register an impressive rate of growth in 2007, at almost 3 per cent.
