Dublin €3k ahead of average income

A gap of almost €7,000 separates average yearly income in the richest and poorest parts of the country, CSO figures show.

Comparisons of disposable income across all counties found the top rates in Dublin, with an average of €24,316, and the lowest in Donegal, where the average is €17,708.

That puts Dublin at €2,960 above the national average of €21,356 and Donegal at €3,648 below. Disposable income is calculated as all income left once tax has been deducted.
