Cavan tops Irish Life investment survey

THERE’S a story that tells jokingly that copper wire was invented as the result of two Cavan men fighting over a penny.

And if the results from the latest Irish Life investment survey are anything to go by then these pennies add up nicely with Cavan people soaring to the top when it comes to investing their money.

Irish Life customers in Cavan invested an average of €72,000 last year — almost 60% above the national average.
