Not Venezuela or Cuba?
Surely some mistake?
I for one am shocked…
Lol
Obviously doesn’t take conditions in the home country into account.
I don’t know if it does. But it doesn’t need to. The UN’s Human Development Index does https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Development_Index
And Ireland is ranked 4th.
FAKE NEWS.
Ireland is a poo-hole according to most commentators here. It can do nothing right. It must come about 157th. And everything is FG/DOB’s fault.
You been to a hospital lately?
blushirts head to blackrock for their haemorrhoid treatments
I haven’t personally been in hospital lately, but in the last 18 months my mam and my other half and sister-in-law (separately) went through the HSE system for a variety of reasons and all were dealt with professionally, effectively, and quickly. No complaints.
Oh, and in all cases it was as a public patient.
+1
I can say the same… for my Dad’s experience.
And +1 on your original comment above too.
Where are the comments from the usual hoard of SF/IRA gutter snipes?
Seems pretty good. Wasn’t Ireland always a good contributor to charities and whatnot, for its size?
Finland are also on top of the Education league tables for Europe. I wonder if the two are connected?
Thanks Bono.
Can you Adam and Eve it.
No but I can Adam and Paul it.
The real reason Ireland is on that list is because it scores so highly on “International Peace and Security”, where we’re 4th, just look at the rankings of the other Top 10 under that heading!
Of course FG is enthusiastically chipping away at our “international peace and security”. How on earth can we justify the deployment in Mali where we’re training one side in bitter dispute against another side. FG signed us up to PESCO. If our defence spending rises to 2% of GDP, that will be €6bn compared to <€1bn today. And what's that about a European army where we get sucked in the big EU/Russia standoff as well as really nasty regional disputes.
We won't be 4th in another decade if FG remains in power and its erosion of our sovereignty isn't checked.
This is the biscuit we get for bowing to every UN suggestion – equal society my eye. some companies operating here have access to huge government incentives and throw money away, other (often indigenous SMEs) can’t even give their stage One-For-All vouchers at Christmas. A society of contrasts.
