Irish people rate themselves among the most fulfilled and optimistic in the world, according to a new global survey.
Despite the fallout of the recession, the Gallup global wellbeing survey for 2010 ranks Ireland 10th in the world among those citizens who regard themselves as thriving.

Nearly two thirds of Irish people rate themselves as thriving, more than one third struggling, but only 1% say they are suffering.
