Based on a survey of 1,000 adults on the Amárach Research monthly online omnibus.

Our monthly survey of 1,000 Irish adults about their views on the economy, spending and savings intentions, and wider influences on their shopping and saving behaviour. Featuring new statements on switching, price sensitivity and buying Irish.
We have been tracking the mood of the Irish nation since April 2009 - that's four years this issue. We have added in new questions relating to switching, Irishness and price sensitivity. Analyses include main supermarket, mobile network, electricity provider and TV service.
We have been tracking the mood and expectations of 1,000 Irish consumers every months since April 2009. Six years on, it is clear that consumer sentiment is vastly improved from the dark days of 2010, and bodes well for consumer spending over the rest of 2015.
Our monthly look at the shopping, saving and borrowing intentions of Irish consumers against a background of economic recovery. This month we have a special focus on customers of different banks.
Our Economic Recovery Index has reached its highest level ever. Consumer spending intentions - including buying Irish - are also at their peak. This month includes a special profile of customers of Ireland's mobile phone networks in the context of economic recovery.
Our last ERI report for 2015 takes a look ahead to spending on holidays, cars and houses - as well as looking at the motivations of customers of Ireland's energy suppliers.
Our lastest report on the financial mood of the nation. We are seeing the highest level of optimism about the economy's prospects since we began tracking in April 2009.
We also look at the willingness of banking, supermarket and electricity customers to spend - and the role of price in their purchases.
Our latest report is out on the spending, saving and borrowing intentions of Irish consumers. For the fourth month in a row, our Economic Recovery Index has reached a record level. Maybe there's a recovery under way...?

how to sell pi coins in South Korea profitably.DOT TECH
Yes. You can sell your pi network coins in South Korea or any other country, by finding a verified pi merchant
What is a verified pi merchant?
Since pi network is not launched yet on any exchange, the only way you can sell pi coins is by selling to a verified pi merchant, and this is because pi network is not launched yet on any exchange and no pre-sale or ico offerings Is done on pi.
Since there is no pre-sale, the only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners. So a pi merchant facilitates these transactions by acting as a bridge for both transactions.
How can i find a pi vendor/merchant?
Well for those who haven't traded with a pi merchant or who don't already have one. I will leave the what'sapp number of my personal pi merchant who i trade pi with.

I will leave the what's app number of my personal pi vendor to trade with.

2. 2Economic Recovery Index
Summer Time
It must be the weather: after an especially dull
and gloomy winter the mood of the nation has
lifted significantly in our June ERI survey.
In fact, our ERI Index is back to levels last
seen in the summer of 2010.
Consumers are still cautious – they’re not
rushing out to spend or borrow and they’re still
saving – but it’s certainly a welcome
improvement after the volatility of recent
months.
We see it also in the levels of happiness and
enjoyment – hitting levels not seen in several
years: it might be ‘one swallow’ but we can still
enjoy the sunshine while it lasts…
3. 3Economic Recovery Index
The Emotional Recovery
We have been reporting our monthly
Economic Recovery Index since April 2009.
We set out four years ago to assess the
psychological impact of the recession and to
chart our ‘emotional progress’ towards
recovery alongside our ‘economic progress’.
This report summarises our Economic
Recovery Index results from April 2009 to
June 2013.
The most recent fieldwork was conducted
during 16th to 22nd June 2013 inclusive.
We have now added historical tables to the
report following requests from a number of
readers.
4. 4Economic Recovery Index
Using the answers to the question on ‘stages of recovery’ we have created the Economic
Recovery Index, which ranges from 0 to 100 (0 = deep recession; 100 = back to peak).
Our ERI index in June 2013 jumped to 24.5 – it’s highest since July 2010:
