Economic System
Ireland has a mixed economic system. The constitution provides that the state shall favour private initiative in industry and commerce, but the state may provide essential services and promote development projects in the absence of private initiatives.
Agriculture
Ireland is a top noch country when it comes to producing goods from agriculture. Most of the gross agricultural output consists of livestock and livestock products, with beef as the biggest single item, followed by milk and pigs. Other important products are cereals (particularly barley and wheat), poultry and eggs, sheep and wool, and root crops, including sugar beets and potatoes. Ireland has an adverse climate with many different conditions which allows them to thrive in the agriculture world.
Resources and Power
Ireland is pretty low in resources and converting them to power. Ireland is not a rich country in mineral resources. Ireland is very dependent on other countries for their main source of energy. The main resources that Ireland has is silver, led, zinc, and gypsum. Unfortunaly none of these elements are used for energy. Today there is some potential to find oil in the Irish territorial sea, but this will not be their main source of power.
Forestry and Fishing
When Ireland was established as an independent country in 1922, woodland represented less than 1 percent of the total land area, but state replanting since World War II has increased almost eightfold the acreage under forests and woodlands. Private afforestation efforts also increased in the late 20th century. A state-owned company was established in 1988 to manage the republic’s commercial forestry. Sea fishing and aquaculture resources have been developed since the mid-20th century, but, because the most extensive fishing grounds in the EU are off Ireland’s shores, international competition is intense.

In Ireland the GDP was worth 217.82 billion US dollars in 2013. Irelands GDP represent .35 percent of the total worlds Gdp.
Irelands main resources are natural gas, peat, copper, lead, zinc, silver, barite, gypsum, limestone, and dolomite. Key industries based on these and other natural resources include fishing, foresting, mining, livestock, and other forms of agriculture and fish farming. Most of these goods will not be exported to other countries. But the ones being exported are the livestock, fish farming, and natural gasses.
