The CIA World Factbook pegs Ireland as a service-based economy, really. Its GDP breaks down to 1.6% agriculture, 28% industry, and 70.4% services.

As for the industries bringing in that 28% - somewhere around 61.8 billion in USD - the largest sectors are computers (hardware and software), food products and beverages, medical devices, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals.

Agriculture.

- this is not true. In fact in Irelands GDP-composition by sector, agriculture is 6%, industry is 27%, and services are 67%. Services are Irelands highest sector. This is because of their horseback riding, tours, and bars.

To check if my statements are true go to CIA world Factbook.
