FOUR IRISH WOMEN on holidays in Portugal are receiving consular assistance from the Department of Foreign Affairs after being robbed early yesterday morning. It is understood money, passports and phones were stolen from the women, who are staying in the popular Algarve region. No physical injuries were reported in the incident and it is understood the women will stay on to finish their trip.
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.
