- even with a resumption of economic growth in 2011 it will be 2014 before the level of Irish economic activity measured in real GNP is restored to the pre recession level of 2007
- consumer expenditure volume in 2013 will be much lower than 2007
- employment in 2013 will be 1.947M persons compared to 2.117M persons in 2007, a drop of 170K jobs
- the cumulative decline in economic activity between 2008 and 2010 will be the worst of the advanced industrial economies
