Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam

How would Ireland's economy fare without our capital city?

17 Aug 2023

Description

Breakfast Business has done some digging into the impact on the overall Irish economy if you were to strip out the Dublin economy from average incomes. Including the capital, GDP per capita at current prices in 2020 in Ireland stood at €75,000. Remove Dublin from that equation and the number drops to €60,000. The number minus Dublin for GVA or Gross value added is even lower. It all shows that without the capital city, Ireland would be a significantly poorer place. But is that an unavoidable reality or something to be worked on? Speaking to Joe this morning was Prof Jim Walsh, Professor Emeritus of Geography and a former Vice-President of Maynooth University. He recently published a book on income disparity between urban and rural dwellers.
