Those of you that live in our capital should be proud

Those of you that live in our capital should be proud.

Sure, we like to give out aspects of living in Dublin from time to time, but if truth be told it’s not a bad spot and we’re not the only ones to think so either.

Dublin came in in 34th place in the 2015 Quality of Living rankings by Mercer, who compile the list every year based on the quality of living conditions to help multinational companies and other employers fairly compensate employees when placing them on international assignments.

Fair enough.

Dublin was the highest ranked city in Ireland and the UK ahead of London (40), with Vienna remaining in the number one spot for the second year in succession.

The top ten was made up of seven European cities alongside Auckland (3), Vancouver (5) and Sydney (10).

Watch out lads, Dublin’s coming for you in a big way in 2016.
