THE MIDWEST
REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN CONTEXT
< 1950: agriculture
1950-1960: Agriculture + Light industries (flour, meat, sweets)
1970+: IDA policies with Shannon Airport deliver new large companies like Ferenka, Krups
1978: Ferenka leaves, local economy devastated: 1400 let go
1998 Krups leaves, local economy devastated: 800 let go
1990s: UL, IDA, Shannon Development and Shannon Airport entice DELL, Vistakon, Analog, etc
2009: Dell leaves: 1900+ let go
See the pattern?

Total banking sector liabilities c.440bnThink 440 bathtubs of salt. That’s Thomond Park, filled with bathtubs.

any measure, spending grew rapidly from 2000 onwards, the more so whensome of the measured output growth was borrowed from the future so tospeak, through building a large unsold stock of houses, retail and o!cespace, which will overhang the market for many years. Governmentspending relative to GNP was growing up to 2007, and even more so if theGNP growth rates and hence tax buoyancy from, say, 2002 onwards were intruth not as good as they looked, as we see in Figure 5.3.
