Ireland exported €21.2bn of goods in October, up by more than 20% compared to the same month last year, underpinned by a surge in pharma and medical product sales which made up half of October's export value. 

New figures released by the Central Statistics Office (CSO) on Monday show that exports between January and October this year were up by 13% compared to the same period in 2023, totalling €187bn.
