This slipped through the net a little of the press this morning with our Taoiseach (Prime Minister) resigning, but the CSO, (Central Statistics Office) have just published some very interesting data on the ICT Sector in the form of their 5th annual survey on ICT. Click here for the press release, or below for the full PDF of the report:

Some interesting facts:
82700 people (9% of total employment) employed in ICT.
One of the highest rates for sending sms's in the EU - 1060/year in 2007.
56.8% of homes online at 2007.
