Irish people are the most trusting in others compared to people across 29 other countries, but rank lowest in terms of satisfaction with the healthcare system.

New analysis from the Central Statistics Office (CSO) shows 83% of people in Ireland report high or moderately high trust in most people, which is the highest of any other country that took part in the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) trust survey for 2023.
