NCB report augurs well for growth of economy

THE next generation of Celtic Tiger cubs is on the way with a new report showing Ireland will have the highest young population in Europe by 2010.

The number of immigrants arriving in the Republic is also set to remain high, according to a study by NCB stockbrokers.

Its findings on future population trends augurs well for future growth, as the strength of the Irish economy over the past decade has been largely attributed to the Republic’s highly educated young population and net inward migration.
