Poll: Are you satisfied with your quality of life?
A NEW REPORT from the OECD has suggested people living in Ireland have some of the best lives in the world, with Ireland among the top countries in its Better Life Index.
The index finds that life expectancy, low pollution, positive experiences and a healthy work-life balance are among the factors that contribute to happy lives in Ireland.

Today we’re simply wondering whether (assuming you live in Ireland) you’re satisfied with your quality of life.
