Eurofound, in cooperation with the European Commission Representation in Ireland, invites you to a Citizens’ Dialogue on 'Quality of life in Europe - How does Ireland measure up?' on Thursday 13 December from 12.30 to 14.00.
Using Eurofound’s recent 2016 European Quality of Life Survey (EQLS) this town hall style meeting will be an opportunity to hear how Ireland compares to other countries in areas such as employment, income, education, housing, family, health and work-life balance. It will also cover subjective topics like people's levels of happiness, how satisfied they are with their lives, and how they perceive the quality of their societies. The panel discussion will highlight the findings for Ireland and explore with participants possible lessons to be learned from other Member States.
With a welcome and introduction by Gerry Kiely, Head of the European Commission Representation in Ireland, and moderated by Mary McCaughey, Head of Communication at Eurofound, panellists will be:
-
-Mairead McGuinness MEP, Vice-President of the European Parliament
-
-Tadas Leončikas , Senior Research Manager, Eurofound
-
-Dr Shana Cohen, Director of TASC, social policy think-tank
The event will start with a light lunch at 12.30 and be followed by a debate from 13.00 to 14.00.
Anyone interested in attending should register in advance
