"The name "Celtic Tiger" emerged because Ireland's rates of growth in recent years have been sustained at levels close to those of the four Asian Tigers-South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore."- Paul Sweeny
Ireland became independent in 1922. Their economic performance before and after their independence from U.K was notable in what it didn't accomplish.
