If you follow the headlines, you could be forgiven for thinking
that things in Ireland are worse than ever. In fact, we live longer
than ever before, we have never been healthier or better educated,
we earn five times more than our grandparents did, our personal
freedoms exceed those of any previous generation, and the lives of
women and children have been transformed for the better. At a time
when some good news is welcome, this uplifting book tells our
national story through facts and stats, placing Ireland under the
microscope to chart 100 undeniable achievements of the past 100
years. When the State was formed, Ireland was one of the most
poverty-stricken nations in Europe. Now it has the second-highest
quality of life in the world. While there is still more to be done,
In Fact illustrates that Ireland, for all its imperfections, is in
a much better state than you might think.
