Re: The Manufacturing of Consent (4.00 / 3)
Irish emigration a fact of life but not as bad as it could be - The Irish Times - Thu, Mar 22, 2012
The total number of Irish people emigrating in the 2006-08 period was 42,000. In 2009-11, it was 86,000.

Key Economic Indicators - Ireland - CSO - Central Statistics Office
GDP - SA('10) €m Q4 11 40,100 n.r. -0.2% 0.7%
GNP - SA('10) €m Q4 11 31,523 n.r. -2.2% -7.1%

It's the old GDP/GNP debate.

Whilst GDP is growing marginally, GNP is still falling in a big way according to the latest available figures...
