Just a wee bit of help needed.

So my lecturer has set a "challenge" for my Macro. class to find out what exports and imports are as a % of GDP.
She said it took her literally 5seconds to find online and that if we couldn't we seriously need to up out computer literacy skills... EEP.
So if anyone could tell what the % they are it would be greatly appreciated.

Where have you looked so far?

CSO.ie and I googled it and got a load of websites making no sense.
I have no idea how to make any sense out of the figures and information I'm being given on these sites.
It's starting to get depressing! :L
I miss studying Micro. it was much easier!

You should be able to find it on the CSO website. Some other places you could try - Department of finance, ERSI, IMF, Central Bank. I found the 2010 export figure but googling... get this 'Irish Exports 2010'! Its just an article so find your own source, but can give you an idea if the numbers you find look right.

Big Hint: You're looking for national accounts.
