Phoenix: A recent report by the National Statistics Office has found Derry has the lowest score for happiness ..

Is it Derry or the people?



The failure of Invest N.I to bring employment to the North West, the statistics are shocking for the percentage of actual jobs brought here, they can't seem to see past Belfast.
The failure to ensure the new road link between Belfast and Derry, which would enhance investment in the North West.
The high rates of poverty and deprivation that people are living in, due to high unemployment and low wages for those employed.

Merely a few reasons.

However I would like to add, Derry people are reported to be some of the most friendly by visitors to the City.
I would also like to add that the City of Culture, the Fleadh, one big weekend and many more large events this year in the City has really lifted the City and shown what Derry has to offer. A resilient people who have been through a lot and are fed up with the lack of investment coming over the Glenshane.
I would also like to add this ---->very happy very happy very happy

I'm happy, not the dwarf happy, just happy,

One must find one's own happiness and not rely on others or blame others for their unhappiness, we control our own destiny, all we have to do is take ownership for it, happiness comes from within, others enhance it.

NOTE: I may not be so happy if someone wakes me too early tomorrow, unless of course it is my George smitten

Derry has been a great example to the rest of the country in Northern Ireland.....just wished everyone else would follow, espeically in Belfast.
I would never have thought people in Derry would be very unhappy. Why so? Derry has been on the News a lot recently and for good reasons!
