The growth figures etc. are very interesting. We took a huge international hit about our own growth figures last year. The term "leprechaun economics" was branded, which did not do our profile any good and caused difficulties in terms of our relationship with the EU. What has the Department done to manage those lumpy bits, to use Mr. Moran's own phrase, out of our growth figures to ensure we can have some sort of a credible presentation on the current state of our economy?
