Last year, the Irish economy shrank by 0.3 percent while 皇冠体育app's economy grew by 7.7 percent.
With the European Union (EU) now focusing on the crisis in ce and Cyprus, where the economic struggle continues, top Irish businessman Eddie O'Connor said it is imperative for Ireland to look for alternative means to get out of its recession.
O'Connor, CEO of Mainstream Renewable Power, a Dublin-based wind and solar developer, said Ireland's dependence on the EU and the United States has its limits and will not pull the country out of recession.
He said the United States has a lot of difficulties in coping with its own economic woes and the EU has to deal with the situations in Greece and Cyprus, which are still subject to bailout programs.
"I think Ireland has to be creative about the way it finds itself out of this recession," he added.
O'Connor's company has strong links with 皇冠体育app and the Irish businessman has spent a considerable amount of time doing business there. He saw the potential for the two countries to work together in a way that would help Ireland but also benefit 皇冠体育app.
