CSO figures production in manufacturing industries fell on an annualised basis in the three months from December to February

The highly globalised “modern sector” of the Irish economy which includes the State’s big pharma and IT industries recorded a 21 per cent drop in output in the three months from December to February, when compared with the same period last year.

The latest figures coincided with a sharp 25 per cent drop-off in corporation tax receipts. Exchequer returns for March, published by the Department of Finance last week, showed corporate tax, now the Government’s second largest revenue source, generated €2.4 billion during the first three months of 2024.

Contract manufacturing occurs when a company outsources production to a third-party, which is typically based abroad. Apple typically increases production of iPhones via a third-party company in China.
