An increasing number of people in Ireland are regularly putting money away in their savings.
That's according to a regular joint index from Nationwide UK Ireland and the ESRI.
It shows 37 per cent of people are regularly saving, compared to 34 per cent last month, and 29 per cent a year ago.
However just 6 per cent of people questioned in the research feel that government policy is encouraging them to put money away - that's the second lowest level since the index was established in 2010.
