70% of Ireland's top earners are men, CSO reveals

The CSO also released the earnings of workers by county and, unsurprisingly, Dublin people earn the highest median annual wage at €46,136 which is €4,313 above the national average.

Men outnumber women seven to three when it comes to Ireland’s top earners — despite the two sexes being evenly distributed when it comes to the rate of employment.

According to the latest data from the Central Statistics Office (CSO), almost three-quarters of the top 1% of earners are men.
