Arrow Ireland ranked best quality of life country.
Ireland is the country where you live your life the best according to the Economist Intelligence Unit’s quality-of-life index 2005 with a score of 8.333/10.

The survey may be 4 years old, but it's still accurate today. The 111 countries and territories included in this survey were judged on:

Health, Family life, Community life, Material well being, Political stability and security, Climate and geography, Job security, Political freedom and Gender equality.

First runner-up is Switzerland (8.068), third place goes to Norway (8.051)

Here is the survey.

Do you agree with this result or not ?

I learnt it today in Business English. I was very very surprised Ireland is first. I'd have said either Denmark or Switzerland. Congrats then !

I posted this because first I was surprised with the result, I'd have never guessed in a million years Ireland would be ranked as it and also because I wanted to get some reactions from Irish and non-Irish members there like if they feel it's the truth, or it's exaggerated.
