Electricity reach is excellent but bills and heating costs preserve a household cash gate.

Ireland contributes development and humanitarian assistance and multilateral cooperation beyond its size, with relatively strong non-extractive intent.

Strong family institutions coexist with housing/childcare pressure. TFR 1.4 in 2025 is well below replacement. Observed TFR 1.500 (2025) is below replacement and below the TBF target of 5.0.
Total fertility rate: 1.50000000
The country-specific national legislation or court record corroborates legal recognition of same-sex marriage. The score adjustment is an authored TBF policy judgment, not a causal fertility estimate.

Food availability is strong; school and welfare routes reduce hunger, while ordinary food remains purchased.
Sources at first snapshot (1)
Public care has broad reach, but very large waiting lists materially reduce usable abundance and drive private workarounds.

Severe housing supply/affordability pressure is a major abundance failure despite high construction capacity and social housing investment.

High incomes and public systems support family capability, but housing searches, commuting and care queues absorb substantial time.

Ireland has significant immigration/refugee pathways and a growing international population, though housing and accommodation pressure weakens lived welcome.

Rule-of-law capacity is strong, though court/legal/admin costs and waiting remain.

Land is physically abundant relative to population, but serviced housing land/property access is expensive and planning-constrained.

Nature protection and restoration capacity are strong, while biodiversity, water-quality and agricultural-emissions pressures remain.

Free Travel for older/qualifying groups and under-9s is genuine zero-fare reach, while working-age adults usually pay.

Public landscapes, coast, parks, culture and safety provide strong everyday delight access.

Water/sanitation reach is broad with strong public infrastructure, though household/public financing does not make all water-system costs disappear.
