PQ 64
64. Deputy David Cullinane asked the Taoiseach if the trade figures for May 2016 as published by the Central Statistics Office, CSO, on 12 August 2016, which show an increase of €19.237 billion in the value of Irish industrial exports in 2015, which was a 22.75% increase on the value of Irish industrial exports in 2014, were the source or one of the sources of the distortion in the Irish GDP figure for 2015 that was labelled internationally as "leprechaun economics"; if it is for him to comment on the fact that the total value of Irish exports from January to May 2016 is slightly up on the total value of Irish exports from January to May 2015, which would seem to suggest that there may be a similar distortion in 2016; the county or counties that have benefitted the most from this increased activity from Irish exporters.
