Ireland's Economic Success and GDP Numbers
Ireland's GDP is now twice that of New Zealand, and its economic success has attracted international interest. However, there are concerns about the accuracy of the Irish GDP figures, as some of the economic activity is generated offshore and merely domiciled in Ireland for tax purposes.
