In the annex to the summer economic statement, there is a section regarding our well-being performance dealing with the performance of things that really matter within our society. That information is sourced from the CSO well-being information hub. It compares Ireland's performance across 35 well-being indicators and compares our performance to other countries. Very briefly, progress was shown in 19 of the 28 indicators, in five of the 28 we are moving backwards, in 15 of the 24 we are ahead of the EU or OECD average, and we are behind the EU average in seven. A lot of information is available there and will be available on budget day on the kind of societal performance levels to which the Deputy refers in his question.
