The Tβnaiste, Ms Harney, yesterday introduced a website which carries the latest economic and statistical information on key national data such as GDP, employment, trade figures and house prices.

The National Data Microsite, a joint initiative of RT╔ OnBusiness and Enterprise Ireland, is designed to serve as a guide for business people, journalists, students and potential investors who require a speedy overview of the Republic's economy.

The site can be accessed through www.enterprise-ireland.com or www.onbusiness.ie.
