New research published today by Global Media & Entertainment (Ireland) finds that there are 23.3 million journey missions per week in Ireland. The research, undertaken by Ipsos Behaviour & Attitudes on behalf of Global, delves into the behaviours and mindsets of outdoor audiences across Dublin, GDA, Cork, Galway, Limerick and Waterford. It outlines daily travel modes, with a key focus on the wide range of missions undertaken by Irish people on a daily basis.
Key highlights include the frequency of journeys, the varied nature of people’s missions and modes of transport used, changes in travel habits following the pandemic and the acceleration in the rate of change.
More people are working remotely, there is an increase in the frequency of grocery shopping and a significant shift in how productivity is measured. Aligned with this is an increase in the importance of free time and an emphasis on the importance of being outside the home.
Ireland on the Move adopted a multi-layered approach, using a combination of quantitative and qualitative methodologies including a week-long digital diary which closely followed respondents across a mix of life stages and locations.
