THE CENTRAL STATISTICS OFFICE has this morning published the first comprehensive breakdown of the countries and territories to which Ireland sent exports, and from which Ireland took imports, for 2011.
The report gives the first full breakdown of what Ireland exported, where it was sent, and which countries have proven to be the most fertile ground to sell Irish goods and services abroad.
With that in mind, we’ve crunched the numbers for 2010 and 2011, and compared Ireland’s trade surplus – that is, the amount by which exports exceeded imports – and identified the 20 countries where that grew last year.
Put simply, the 20 countries are the ones which increased their appetite for Irish wares in 2011 – and the ones where, if exports are going to lead an economic recovery, the going has been good so far.

Any chance of banning booze altogether?
I’m sick of the previous generation gargling up their fat pensions and abusing their bodies with cream buns and fags and then expecting so called “doctors” to work miracles on their carcasses with extortionate pills and procedures while we all foot the bill for their gluttony and exuberance.
Just listen to the f€ckers.
“Ohh in my day all the food was natural and organic” as they chomp into a bar of chocolate with the HSE false teeth.
Do you want salt on those chips?
I’ll have mine made with organic freshly picked organic potatoes lightly fried in cold pressed virgin organic olive oil.
Maybe a little Himalayan salt on the side.
Thanks.
With extra organic please.
