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: what difference does it make to the average individual or family around the country who earns what and who lives where in certain parts of Dublin?
@Leonard Barry: direct that question to the journal lad, they’re the ones who published the article, not me.
@John Darker: pat Kenny would make a great neighbour if you like badgers.
@John Darker: It’s a good job they’re using median and not average income then, isn’t it.
@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.
@John Darker: they said median not average !
@Paul Phibbs: apologies headline says average but article references median ! Average means very little – your dead right
@John Darker: you could have saved yourself a lot of typing mate. It’s the median figure (not the average). Maybe you missed that or maybe you don’t know the difference ;)
@John Darker: They’re not working class areas anymore
And they’re probably broke with the cost of living,especially in dublin.
@Jack: 2.5k rent a month for a one bed, 9 euro pints, 17 euro cocktails….minimum wage 13.50…sure what could go wrong!
@Dan The Man: after the excessive taxes 85k wouldn’t go very far with those costs.
Off topic, but I can’t stop myself. Does anyone know what Putin has on Trump? That VHS tape with the “leader” of the free world being compromised by Olga and her friends must have been backed up.
@D Farrell: why would trump care..slate me Putin…Im still President and don’t give a f…………………….k!
@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,
@John Darker: Putin couldn’t say it better.
@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
@D Farrell: Olga and friends was really Oliver and pals.
@John Darker: They have the weapons, they have a massive amount of stockpiles, those aren’t used for Yemen or Israel. Keep spreading misinformation will you?
20 percent Intel job cuts will put a fair dig into that! Recession is nigh!
@Dan The Man: intel has been in trouble for a while. Nothing to do with tariffs you’ll be happy to know.
@Peter McGlynn: Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown tax rates, to be fair with rest of country will increase to cover any loss of PAYE tax revenue from such a monster as Intel….im happy and hugging my rich mammy lol
@Peter McGlynn: but the tariff issue adds to it. It ain’t going to help.
@Dan The Man: The PAYE revenue from 1000 jobs at Intel is nothing more than a rounding error in the overall scheme of things. Plus, Intel workers don’t live in DLR, would be a horrific commute.
@Jason Memail: let’s see. You can’t close Intel immediately but you can stop it manufacturing all future important products to gradually wind it down
@Jason Memail: And when Intel closes when are you creating 4500 jobs at the drop of a hat!
@Dan The Man: The 20% staff reduction is to improve their profits. Increased the tax rate on those
Quelle surprise. The fanciest part of ireland make the most money I heard Maida Vale is well off too.
Soft landing anyone.
Longford would probably be less than forty if it was not for the heroic efforts of Mossy Flood promoting the place!
Yay!
I would like to see the average net income reported also just out of curiosity!
My Arse
The incomes quoted raise even more questions re rents, house prices. None of the incomes justify current house prices, rents etc. when considering how much tax people would be paying.
Tax increases with such job losses will be massive!
I thought it would be higher in some parts of the country. That’s basically a house hold with two working people on a little over the median salary.
Typical port stats ice in abundance.
The wealthiest average less than double the poorest neighbourhoods then. That’s way more balanced than in the US or UK for sure.
Why is it dlrcoco and not stillorgan then?
@miss lojo: Stillorgan is part of Dunlaoghaire Rathdown
have your say
