Abstract

In a few short years in the latter half of the 1980s Ireland moved from a position of near-bankruptcy in the fiscal accounts to near balance. The improvement was sustained: having jumped to over 120 per cent in 1987, a decade later the debt-to-GDP ratio had fallen by almost one-half, and promised to slip below the demanding Maastricht target of 60 per cent by the start of EMU in 1999.
