DUBLIN, Ireland–This country’s credit unions have once again been ranked as the most reputable organization in the country.
Ireland’s credit unions finished atop the rankings in a report by RepTrak that examines the reputation of 100 well-known organizations and businesses in Ireland.
The report compiles the views of 5,500 members of the public, and is published by communications group The Reputations Agency.
Credit unions topped the annual ranking for the second consecutive year with an Excellent reputation score of 84.2, the only organization to achieve an excellent score this year, RTE.com reported.
Credit unions have consistently been ranked among the highest-rated and most respected institutions in Ireland in a number of different polls.
Additional Rankings
Lidl Ireland took second place second with a strong score of 79.2, the retailer's highest ever ranking in this study, jumping from 9th place in 2023.
Boots Ireland placed third with a strong reputation score of 79, jumping from 8th place in 2023, RTE.com.
In something of an irony, the source of the reporting—RTE—ranked 99th in the survey, the largest reputational decline over the last 15 years, which is a drop of 23 points from 67th place in 2010.
X, formerly Twitter, was the only organization that ranked below RTÉ, securing the 100th position.
