Dublin has by far the highest disposable income in the country, increasing every year and pulling away from counties closest to it in figures, the latest available data has found.

Central Statistics Office (CSO) figures for 2018 showed that both the city and county of Dublin were far and away ahead of the next highest county of Kildare when it came to spending power for each worker after taxes and social insurance contributions were deducted.
