My own personal knowledge on Ireland isn't too good, but you can try these websites:

Here's something from Bored Of Studies
http://www.boredofstudies.org/courses/arts/economics/2002_Eco_A_Case_Study_Ireland_Jayaweera.pdf

For an overview and some data you can try The Economist
http://www.economist.com/countries/Ireland/

Finally there's the Irish Government's website
[Explorer isn't working well for me, but you can access it from one of the links on the right at the previous website - The Economist]

You can also check other organisation like the WTO, EU, IMF or CIA (especially the last one), but I don't have specific links so you'll have to look for yourself.

I would suggest having a half page description of globalisation in general in case you get asked about it in the question (if it is an exam). Talk about the definition of globalisation, what factors have brought it about, etc. It would help to throw in some buzz words like interdependance or global village.

And for time-frame, I think for Ireland you would want to look at it from when it began it's economic reforms (plus maybe a bit before) up until now. I'm not sure when this was, but it has been pretty sucessful in doing it.

Try to make sure you get some good statistics too. I'd be looking primarily at GDP per capita, economic growth over the past few years (averaged out), HDI (Human Development Index - for economic development), gini coefficient (for income inequality), that's all that comes to mind at the moment. You also want to get the main sectors of the economy, major exports and trading partners. It's also part of the EU and took on the Euro as it's currency so you should mention that too.

This time last year I was preoccupied with my HSC. Actually, *this* time last year I was in Perth visiting my extended family. But I actually bombed out in my globalisation assesment. I got 13/20, whereas in the other three economics exams I got 90+ and in the otherassignment I got about 16 or 17 out of 20.

So technically I really don't know if I'm the best person to ask about this specific topic. :rolleyes:
