Number of third-level graduates doubles
According to the latest CSO Census 2012 release, two in five people in the 15 and over age bracket in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown are college graduates, while just 17% in Limerick City are similarly qualified.
Overall, the census found the numbers of those with a third-level qualification has more than doubled in the two decades — rising from just 14% in 1991 to 31% by 2011. This growth was more pronounced for women that men.
