Talk:Celtic Tiger

message: The accepted start date on this page of the Celtic Tiger is 1995.  It is referenced in several sections (e.g. the "downturn" section mentions the 2002 downturn occurred after "seven years" of increases).  However, the first usage of "Celtic tiger" is credited to a 1994 Morgan Stanley report (dead link btw) – wouldn't it have been going for a few years if someone in 1994 is referring to it by name?  Or perhaps was that usage just same name "Celtic Tiger"/different context?  The "How Ireland Became the Celtic Tiger" article uses 1990 as a 'starting point' for its measurement of Irish economic increases (not saying that's the beginning, but at least the starting point of his measurement).  Another source, the New York Times article "For Insurance Regulators, Trails Lead to Dublin" suggests it was the 'early 90s'.  Anyway great work on this page!  Just wondering how the first reference to Celtic Tiger could be made before the movement started in earnest.
Possible citation -- "the "Celtic tiger" has been growing by 7% a year since 1994" from The Economist, "Ireland. Rainbow's End?", May 24, 1997 (article accompanying main picture on main page - available on LexisNexis)

Celtic tiger was from 1995-2001, the property boom was from 2001-2007. If the property boom never occured, the celtic tiger would have ended in 2001 as FDI had come to a slowdown in Ireland.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.54.254.20 (talk) 08:16, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

They do?  Having lived in Ireland throughout this period I'm not aware of a single example of this. --Ryano 10:18, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Great that you like my little cartoon. I live in Mullingar, County Westmeath and have been there right through the boom and I've seen plenty of cartoon tigers in the newspapers and business magazines. In particular the Irish Independent's business supplement on a thursday uses celtic tiger cartoons virtually ever couple of weeks on page 2 (the uusual place for economic commentary). I've also seen it on a more irregular basis in other periodicals. CGorman 18:53, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

message: Not much mention of the dot-com bubble, which coincided with the Celtic Tiger pretty much. While there are indeed other factors in the Celtic Tiger growth, I would suggest that the dot-com boom was a major factor. (Surely some editors from Ireland remember the massive IT spending by companies that previously had little computing equipment, and more by those who already had some IT and expanded their web presence, network infrastructure, and megalomaniac paperless office schemes?)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:NDP IRELAND.GIF

message: There are certain sections that discuss desirable social aims of government, and outcomes for economic policy.
This article should confine itself to describing what exactly the "Celtic tiger" is, it's determinants e.g. was Ireland merely catching up as predicted in the Solow model?, EU money?, Open Economcy strategy? removal of barriers to trade?, increased liberalisation of markets?, English speaking?, Educiaton system?
All these and more have been proposed as factors in the boom. 
If you can factually say that a result of the boom peroid has been an increase in inequality then this can be stated in a "results" or "effects" section later, or a description of the economy as it now stands. There is no doubt though that poverty has reduced since the early nineties.

message: This section is completely uncited.
A number of claims shouldn't be there, "opposition criticise SSIA", given that the scheme is now over an objective, retropsective evaluation should be possible. 
Although there may be problems in the health service, their mention in an article about an economic pheonmeon is irrelevant.
Finally, perhaps all these things weren't done becuase they were doing other things. Perhaps some of these should be in the future challenges section.AleXd (talk) 23:15, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Criticism of government management of the boom 

message: 3Q: Allo',
I have noticed that the factors responsible for the Celtic tiger could possibly be slit into to groups. Factors that were the direct result of policy-makers (and/or anything inherent in the economy/demography etc)and factors that were advantageous to the Irish economy but did not result directly from Ireland itself. 
The corporate tax policy is an exmple of the former and the EU funds an example of the latter.
The reasons for my proposal are as follows:
Firstly it may help to illustrate the 'interplay' of factors to a reader (particularly a lay person in terms of economic policy/and the economy in general). This will break the information down into more digestible chunks. 
Secondly, there are three factors that have relevance that should be mentioned. 
1.)The US economy was coming out of a slump (or recession; I'm not sure how it was defined exactly). Despite all the Irish policies and tax incentives, the fact that US businesses faced a less risky market contributed to their relocation to Ireland.
2.) The EU single market. Again this provided an incentive for foreign direct investment to locate in Ireland. It works best when you consider that as well as speaking English, being educated (but not enough to demand a high salary), unemployed (again reducing the workers power to seek payment increases) Ireland could provide a springboard into a tarrif-free market place with over 160million people - or thereabouts.
3.) The Irish Pound was quite a strong currency prior to the mid-ninties. Prior to the boom the currency was devauled (more than once I think). Exports were therefore cheaper and one would think easier to sell to other countries(both for domestic companies and the multi-nationals).
I can provide some references but it may take a while (busy life is all i'm not writing the stuff) unless anyone else has some info. They will also be quite recent as with a phenomenon so big hindsight often reveals more than contemporary observation. 
Referring back to the initial point of splitting the factors/causes into to sections: If this information is added there will be quite a list and I'm sure other people may have research/academia to highlight other causes. Therefore I think to give the article more "readability" (coined 01/03/2008) it should be divided as I have proposed. 
Looking forward to your feedback. Q3  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.254.147.100 (talk) 15:58, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

message: This article should not become a discussion of the continuing state of the Irish economy, obviously it is a question of economic history, what constitute the Celtic Tiger? but the article should not be continously updated with developments in the finanical news.AleXd (talk) 03:57, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: "downturn"

message: The statement below is misleading and should be altered for a number of reasons:
"Between 1997 and 2004, Charlie McCreevy, the Minister for Finance, pursued fiscal policies such as low taxation[2] and contributed to a dramatic reduction in public debt over the boom years.[3] He was voted Ireland's best Minister for Finance in 2004 by Finance magazine.[4]
1. The initial statement is biased as some of the relevent low taxation policies were implemented before Mc Creevey became Minister for Finance, so the Statement could more accurately read:
"Between 19XX and 2004, low (corporate?) taxation policies were pursued by sucessive Minister's for Finance such as Charlie Mc Creevy"
Also the reference quoted does not back up the statement above and does not mention Charlie Mc Creevy. It says:
"In 1956, as economic policy was reversed and free trade replaced protectionism, the first step to encourage foreign direct investment in Ireland was the inducement of low corporate tax rates. And all parties in all governments have held that policy line ever since, not least against some strong external pressure (including from the EU) to force us to change it. "
[2] (http://www.independent.ie/opinion/editorial/lowtax-policies-created-the-tiger-485406.html)
2. The National debt has not been reduced at all during the boom, what has improved is our debt to GDP ratio. To date only the interest has been paid as the article referenced states. This reference in no way supports the claim made.
[3]http://www.business2000.ie/cases/cases_7th/case21.htm
3. The link to Reference [4] is broken. A new reference needs to be found.

message: I don't think "Irish living standards" by which I think one would read GDP per capita adjusted for PPP were ever the second highest in Europe. GNP per capita maybe but that's a different thing.
Nope, the other way around, GDP possible, GNP definately not (GNP is way lower in Ireland, see statistics of Eurostat for example). But that's a problem here, since the GNP is actualy more presenting the living standards than the GDP. --Larsenat (talk) 03:41, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

This information isn't much good. Its 2011. Either these results were met or not, and the article should state whether the Irish economy is as screwed as these sources suggest. I mean, come on! It says 2009! 98.176.10.163 (talk) 03:35, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

It's 2018!!! And this article talks about events from 7-10 years ago. An update is necessary.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.202.66.126 (talk • contribs) 
:Hi. I'm not sure I understand your point. 'Celtic Tiger' is a term which was used for a period from about 1994 (give or take a few years) to about 2007 (give or take a bit). In this sense it is "history". Past tense. A decade ago. Or more. Other than to explain its impact on more recent events (already covered here and in related articles), why would we retrospectively/retroactively/revisionally change "history"? The US stock market is relatively stable now - does that make the article on the Wall Street Crash of 1929 "out-of-date"? What change specifically are you advocating?
