Estonia agus an Euro

Estonia and the Euro

Following EU membership Estonia saw rapid growth, expansion and seismic change. Along with Ireland it was heralded as one of the tiger economies. After a deep recession things are now improving again, but there are debates as to whether the recent Eurozone membership will bring a return to the success of the past.
Eaconomaidh na h-脠ireann

Le taghadh air f脿ire ann an 脠irinn an ceann beagan 's cola-deug, tha an eaconomaidh, 's a bhith cruthachadh obraichean, gu m貌r air a' chl脿r-gnothaich. Tha na m矛ltean air 脠irinn fh脿gail anns an d脿 bhliadhna mu dheireadh, leis nach eil cothroman ann dhaibh, 's iad a' sireadh obraichean ann an d霉thchannan leithid Astr脿ilia, Canada 's na St脿itean. Tha c霉isean gu h-脿raidh duilich do dhaoine 貌ga 's an cairteal cuid eadar fichead 's c貌ig bliadhna fichead gun chosnadh. Dh'aontaich an riaghaltas ri plana cobhair 猫iginn bhon Storas Ionmhais Eadar-n脿iseanta 's an t-Aonadh 贰貌谤辫补ch aig deireadh na bliadhna 'n-uiridh.

Irish Economy

With the Irish election due in the next fortnight, the economy and job creation are very much on the political agenda. Thousands have left Ireland in the last two years due to lack of opportunities. Many have headed to countries such as Australia, Canada and the USA in seach of work. Things are particularly difficult for young people, with a quarter of 20-25 year olds unemployed. The Irish government agreed to an 鈧�85 billion bail-out from the International Monetary Fund and the European Union at the end of last year. Whichever party wins the election, they will need to make cuts over the next four years. People are worried that it could be some time before the situation improves.
