The Irish economy is continuing to grow - but at a low rate.

New figures from the Central Statistics Office show there was growth of 0.1% during the third quarter of the year, compared to quarter two.

When multinationals are excluded, the domestic economy grew by 0.5%.

The CSO release states that "government expenditure decreased by 1.4% while personal expenditure remained unchanged compared to Q2 2013."

Michael Connolly is from the CSO, and has been explaining the latest findings:
