The Economy of Ireland is edited by Trinity economists Emeritus Professor of Economics, John O’Hagan and Associate Professor in Economics Francis O’Toole, and UCD Professor Ciara Whelan. All three editors were present for the launch and spoke about the legacy of the publication. Minister for Finance, Pascal Donohoe, was also in attendance, having written the Foreword for this latest edition. The Minister addressed the audience at the start of the launch, reminiscing on his own undergraduate days in Trinity College and how the book was always a constant presence on the Lecky shelves. 

The launch was well attended by students, staff, and friends and family of the editors. Light refreshments were provided after the event.
