    Or use the CSO data? with analysis form IE.ie

    Read the link from OP - CSO data only goes to March, and even then only for 15% of the workforce, and makes no attempt to annualize people's income or ask people what they think their income for the year is going to be (remembering people spend based on their expected annual income, not on their hourly rate of pay for the last three months).

    And it only covers large business.

    Oh, and it tries to calculate hourly wages, without any reference to whether or not the person is paid an hourly or annual rate.

    So, not the best...

    Plus, rather odd that on the IE.ie link, they talk about wages not going down, while wages in finance went down 11% year on year.
