Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam · Assessing Economic Trends in Ireland and Northern Ireland · 8 Dec 2025 podcast

Breakfast Business with Enterprise Ireland on Newstalk.

Good morning, Amos.

Thanks for having me on.

Well, I suppose maybe it's some of our results in terms of living standards.

So the report looks at commonly used measures of living standards north and south.

And we find gaps in living standards that generally favour Ireland.

And most of these gaps are widening over time.

So I suppose in terms of things like output per capita.

So for Ireland, we look at GNI.

The Republic of Ireland, just to be clear.

Just to be clear, yeah.

So for the Republic, we look at GNI star per capita.

For Northern Ireland, it's GDP per capita.

And between the two, there's a gap of around 84% favouring Ireland.

In terms of household income, it's 10%.

Hourly earnings around 30%.

But I suppose one of the most valuable indicators is life expectancy because it reflects kind of cumulative impact of a wide range of social and economic factors.

So everything from income to access to healthcare,

to the overall performance of public services and the socio-economic environment that we live in.

And we find that there's a gap in life expectancy North and South favouring the Republic.
