Public satisfaction with civil servants is at its highest recorded level, according to an independent survey published earlier this month. The Ipsos/MRBI survey found that 83% of those who’d accessed services were satisfied, while 87% were happy with the outcome of their contact with a civil servant. Both figures are significantly up from the last survey, which took place in 2015.

Public perceptions of civil service efficiency, trust, independence and equality have all increased too. IMPACT said the results were proof of a strong service ethos among public servants. A union spokesperson said: “The number of public servants fell significantly during the economic crash, while demand for services soared. This new survey shows that public servants more than rose to that challenge, despite the frequent carping from some sections of the media commentariat.”

The field work was carried out in the first quarter of 2017 with over 2,000 face-to-face interviews conducted nationwide.
