Yes, this is Breakfast Business with me, Emmett Oliver.
It's great to have you along on this Monday morning.
Now, we oftentimes talk about Northern Ireland versus the Republic of Ireland in whole loads of political context.
But what about in economic terms?
The government is today launching a new report on assessing economic trends in Ireland and Northern Ireland.
This is the first report in a new annual series from the ESRI examining economic developments across the island to see, I suppose, which ones are performing and in what way.
And I'm now joined by Dr Adele Bergen, who is one of the co-authors of this report.
Good morning to you, Adele.
It's great.
Now, of course, this is always the difficult first question because there's so many findings in here.
We can pull out different ones about income.
We can have ones about employment output.
But which one do you think is the most interesting one to you that you kind of went, oh, that's not what I expected to see?
Right.
Fascinating.
I mean, a lot of this stuff is economic, but then it kind of merges into the social.
I know Northern Ireland traditionally has had difficulties with early school leaving and non-active participation in the labour market.
So those two seem to be still in the mix.
There hasn't been much closing of that gap that I understand.
Now, you probably don't cover this in the report, but I just wonder, the fact that there's such a strong presence of multinational companies in the Republic of Ireland, which a lot of people think has forced us in this part of the world to, you know, up that level of education, investment, third level and so on.
