Dublin is the 51st most expensive city in the world for investors to locate staff, cheaper than the Swiss urban centres, Copenhagen, London, Vienna, Amsterdam, and Prague, according to the annual Mercer survey. 

Every year the survey compiles the global rankings for its clients to assess the cost of living and salaries they will have to pay their international staff to work in particular cities.
