LikePlace Zeitgeist

The Zeitgeist reveals that in 2009 the Irish people were a pretty satisfied bunch.

We were MOST HAPPY with the quality of our 'Environment', but LEAST HAPPY with the 'Cost of Living' and the ‘Economy’ . So, no surprises there!

LikePlace also collected many unusual and just plain weird comments about life in Ireland.

• According to Willie, Ballyclare in Co.Antrim "Smells like a pigsty. Tastes like peach ice cream." !?
• Jobstown in Co.Dublin was described as "A social experiment gone wrong." by Billo.
