    The average income for DLR is totally skewed by the areas of Dalkey, Killiney, Blackrock, Stillorgan, when the millionaires in Dalkey/Killiney like Pat Kenny, Bono, the Edge, Van Morrison, Enya, Bono, Chris de Burgh and Jim Sheridan are factored in.
    DLR also has a lot of working class estates like Ballybrack,Loughlinstown, Sallynoggin, monkstown farm etc where the income would pale into significance compared to those I’ve mentioned, there’s plenty more working class people in DLR than then really wealthy people

    @John Darker: “Average” as an indicator has always been inaccurate and The Journal knows that, it does skew the numbers.

    Median is a much more accurate measure but The Journal knows this and publishes a measure that is pointless in this context.

    @D Farrell: the US haven’t got the weapons to keep giving Ukraine, not while they arm Israel, are bombing Yemen, getting ready for a possible attack on Iran and also ramping up in case they want to try take on China,
    The world is bigger than just Ukraine, and the US has many pokers in the fire.

    Almost 200 billion in weapons and munitions has been poured into Ukraine by the west in a war of attrition, Russia out manufactures all of Europe combined.
    Also at this stage Ukraine can’t win, let alone take back territory.
    This war for Ukrainians is in it’s death throes, only it will be a long slow, painful death unless Europe comes to its senses and stops trying to fight until the last Ukrainian.
    The cupboard is almost bare for Ukraine,

    @Tasty k: I’m sorry if facts hurt your tiny little mind, Ukraine is finished, is on life support for absolutely everything, from weapons, munitions, cash to pay social welfare and the running of the state,
    Nothing says more about being sovereign and independent, than needing absolutely everything from others just to exist.
    Ye cam call me all the names you want, insinuate I’m a Putinist or whatever you desire, it’s not going to change reality of what’s actually happening,
    Instead of rebutting what I write, you lot descend into name calling and innuendo,
    Ignore the facts, ignore that Russia outproduces the whole of Europe in weaponry and munitions , with a vastly superior population than Ukraine.

    You lot are hilarious

    @John Darker: Finally, someone talking sense on the journal.
    Ukraine has been used and abused by the US and NATO since the CIA sponsored Maidan coup in 2014, they never cared for the people of Ukraine and would happily feed them all to the meat grinder in an unwinnable war. It’s always been just about weakening Russia, they’ve been trying to repeat it in Georgia.

    @John Smith: 100% correct John, Jens Stoltenberg even admitted that NATO has been arming and training Ukraine since 2014, Georgia started the war against Russia after being egged on and got slapped hard, even the EU have confirmed Georgia started that ( Georgia thought the West would ride to the rescue )
    Now they’re trying to egg them on again.
    Merkel also admitted that the Minsk 1 and 2 agreements were to buy time to stuff Ukraine full of weapons…
    With the US possibly walking away from it all can actually only be good news for the Ukrainians that are being forcibly conscripted and taken from the streets.

    @John Darker: “the world is bigger than just Ukraine” you write, and that is why Putin cannot be allowed to have an unconditional victory. If he gets his way in Ukraine, he will surely be emboldened to move against the Baltic States. If China sees that the US is not willing to act against Russia, it may be tempted to try to take Taiwan…

    The outcome of the Russian invasion goes far beyond Ukraine
