New research from the ESRI shows the value of industrial output here grew by double digits while it fell in the rest of Europe.
At the same time, the fall in the value of the construction, finance and entertainment sectors was the largest of 27 countries examined.

Today's report from the ESRI delves into this division and comes up with some stark comparisons. It establishes that just four types of goods and services: computer services, pharmaceuticals, organic chemicals and medicines make up nearly 60% of exports.
