Mr. Coffey referred to GDP. We all know GDP, leprechaun economics, call them what you like. In fairness, the Minister for Finance has based a lot of his figures on what he calls modified domestic demand. I know this is not GNI* but to make that comment, the finance Minister does recognise the limitations of GDP.
