The one hour lunch break is no more - with the majority of workers taking just 20-40 minutes.

 

That's according to new research carried out as part of 'How Ireland Works' series, which shows 1 in 6 people surveyed don't take a lunch break.

 

The research also found that 7 in 10 work communications take place outside of office hours.

 

However, the majority of workers say they are content in their role with 83 percent saying they are very or somewhat happy, but 43 percent say they would like to change job.

 

That's one of the findings revealed as part of  'How Ireland Works' series.
