Article Abstract:

The economy of Ireland has improved dramatically since the second half of the 1980s. The country is attracting considerable inward investment, while employment opportunities are increasing, especially for women. There are many signs of a new era of prosperity, such as expensive restaurants, high quality stores and health clubs. Irish people have become increasingly materialistic, and this is also having an impact on the country's political agenda.
