if it happens well surely hear about it

im not sure who does the measuring, more than likely its CSO

not that its easy to trust GDP figures since they can be easily manipulated by creative accounting and distortions

a better indicator of recession being over would be reversal in unemployment

The Moan Factor is a good indicator. People whinge, bitch and begrudge far more during a recession:)

The Central Statistics Office is what you want.
Here is the 'National Accounts': http://www.cso.ie/statistics/nationalingp.htm
