PUBLIC TRANSPORT IS being diverted from Dorset Street after a lorry and bus crashed into each other there this morning.
Dublin Bus says that buses are being diverted via Belvedere Road to avoid the stranded vehicles. Gardai are currently attending the scene. An eyewitness told TheJournal.ie that the bus was coming from the Drumcondra direction and the lorry from the Croke Park direction when they collided near the Big Tree pub.
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.
It did note, however, that the gap between the rich and poor is wider in Ireland than elsewhere, while the gender gap in educational performance is also larger than average.
Today we’re simply wondering whether (assuming you live in Ireland) you’re satisfied with your quality of life.
