Our GDP per capita is far higher Ellers We are managing our debts very well too. Not one cent has been repaid late and most of our debts are repaid before they are due. UK who?
If you supposedly deal in facts then maybe you should get them right. The U.K. isn’t Ireland’s most important trade partner.
How big is Irelands national debt? It’s just over €200 billion. On a per capita basis that’s the third highest in the world, eclipsed only by the US and Japan. It equates to €42,000 for every man, woman and child in the State or nearly €90,000 for every worker in the economy. Enough said.
And with a booming economy showing growth of 6.5 per cent, and a huge trade surplus between imports and exports, what we owe is being paid.
