Ireland is an island nation which has recently gone through a major reformation from a country that verged on bankruptcy 19 years ago to now being one of the richest countries in the world. With this dramatic turn around of the fortunes of this island nation came massive growths in terms of economy and massive changes in Ireland on every level. Gone are the trends of massive emigration and high numbers of unemployment with the advent of the Celtic Tiger which has brought massive double digit economic growth for 10 consecutive years. |
