"Ireland was the only EU economy to grow in 2020 and is in line for a very small proportion of the funds”

There are consequences of using inaccurate economic activity measures. Ireland’s GDP 'grew' 3% in 2020 and we will miss out on EU funds due to that. https://www.irishtimes.com/business/economy/first-covid-19-stimulus-funds-expected-by-mid-year-1.4483085

This 3% growth figure is distorted by the activity of MNCs, including, according to former CB Governor @PHonohan, transferring and depreciation of intellectual property assets and the Irish headquartering of a large number of aircraft-leasing companies. https://www.irishtimes.com/business/economy/eu-rankings-wrong-on-irish-prosperity-says-ex-central-bank-chief-1.4476081

The @greenparty_ie believes that GDP is not a way to measure the wellbeing and the quality of life of Irish Citizens. Our proposal on Wellbeing Indicators can be found here
