While some may say the advancement and growth of technology in Ireland is a more recent development, say within the last decade, it can actually be traced back to the 1950's. Many people still think of Ireland as a group of country farmers and small town people, but it is quite the opposite. The citizens of Ireland have been advancing and expanding as a whole. Just as in America, you will now see people in Ireland emailing and working in large "dot.com" companies with the moving in of companies such as IBM and Microsoft. It would not be a stretch to say the introduction of these technologies has had an effect on the people of Ireland, but one could argue for both sides on whether it is a positive effect or a negative one. The causes of Ireland's growth are the subject of some debate, but credit has been primarily given to free market capitalism: low corporate taxation; decades of investment in higher education; a low-cost labor market; a policy of restraint in government spending; and EU membership, or the development of the Celtic Tiger.
[...] An aspect of Irish life that the Celtic Tiger has had a huge effect on is emigration, and like all aspects of the Celtic Tiger, there are advantages and disadvantages. One major advantage was that the youth of Ireland no longer had to emigrate to find work. Now Ireland had an educated labor force that aren't leaving the country and could fill in the job vacancies available from the new Multi-National companies that were coming to Ireland.[16] By Multi National companies, I mean companies that operate globally.

[...] With global economic increases comes the need to spend more money and while Ireland is on the track towards decreasing debt, it still is under funded in areas such as health care. So as the country is putting money in much needed places such as education, others are unavoidably overlooked. Also one negative thing that we can associate with the Celtic Tiger is inequality. This is more apparent with regard to living standards. Figures show that the living standards are a lot lower than the EU standards.[29] A familiar saying we hear when discussing the Celtic tiger is that the rich got richer and the poor got poorer, there are records and statistics that prove this saying but there are also records and statistics to contradict this statement.
