Irish support for EU remains strong - Eurobarometer Survey

Irish support for the European Union remains strong. And Ireland is more optimistic than any other member state about the future of the EU at eighty three percent (83%). That compares to the EU average of sixty one percent (61%). That’s according to the Autumn 2023 Eurobarometer report for Ireland published today by the European Commission.  

The survey covers the period from October to November. However it does not refer to issues about the Middle East and the Israel-Hamas war. The survey also found that among the Irish public, there is a much higher rate of people who feel well informed about the EU at 62%. That compares to the EU average of just thirty six percent (6%).

Helen Kearns, the head of communications at the European Commission’s Representation in Dublin, gave more details about the survey.
