Definition: Industry is all companies that make up full output of a produce or service Economy is formed of different industries ▫Primary or extractive: natural resources ▫Secondary: construction and manufacturing ▫Tertiary or service (e.g. hotels, government & professional services) What is industry?

The Primary Sector The importance of the primary sector to the economy ▫In 2011, almost 150,000 people were directly employed. ▫These employees pay tax on their wages and VAT on purchases. ▫Raw materials for industry. E.g. Coillte ▫Exports from agriculture are high, which impacts the balance of trade and payments. ▫Food products produced cut down on imports from abroad.

Primary industries Products extracted from natural resources (farming, fishing, forestry & mining) In 2011, employed about 8% of the workforce Good for balance of trade and balance of payments (reduce imports & increase exports) Receive financial support from EU to help with competitiveness Agriculture/Agri-business ▫Volume of exports, major employer in Ireland Forestry ▫Timber, Coillte, Bord na Móna, Bio-Energy Ireland Fishing ▫Reduced size of industry in Ireland, leading Irish ports include Killybegs & Howth

Changing trends in the Primary Sector Declining numbers employed in agriculture. EU quotas on food production. Increase in demand for organic and artisan food products. Diversification of land towards sustainable energy or forestry. Decline in EU grants – Common Agricultural Policy.

The secondary sector involves taking the raw materials from the primary sector and processing them into finished products. Involves: Manufacturing sector Indigenous firms Transnational firms Agri-business Construction sector.
