Okay, I'll just deal with the first paragraph of it. It says:

AIB says that even if its forecasts prove overly optimistic, the downturn in activity is unlikely to derail the economy completely. The economy will still hold onto virtually all the gains in output, employment and living standards achieved since 1993. These are very impressive gains, with real GDP increasing by 167% and employment rising by over 75% in this period. As the chart shows, there has been a very strong growth in GDP per capita in Ireland relative to the UK and eurozone over the past decade.

What model was used to give us that information?
