In the first half of the decade 2000 – 2010 the Irish economy grew at an annual average rate of 5.4%. The Economic & Social Research Institute (ESRI) produced their ‘Middle Term Review 2005 – 2012’ in December 2005 in which they made predictions for the Irish economy out to 2012. These predictions, for the most part, were positive. Circumstances, however, changed in the second half of the decade and things went terribly wrong, with the foundations for much of the economic disaster being laid in the first half of the decade.

Since the Act of Union with Britain in 1801, trade between Ireland and Britain has flourished, to the extent that much of Ireland’s trade with the rest of the world was streamed through Britain. Even today, Britain remains a strong distribution centre for Ireland and the Land Bridge services complement this distribution
network.
