33,000 millionaires in Ireland

That was the figure around 2008.1 in every 130 people.I live in the south of the country and in 1 mile radius of me I know of about 10/15.
There wealth goes from one guy worth about 20 million to others worth around 3 million.
These are the people the government should be talking with to get the rest of us back on the road.The overall number in the country could be down alot since 2008 though.

And when we've taken all their money, but still need more, who do we go to? That's always been socialism's problem.

2008 eh? Sure nothings changed since then. You sir are a genius.

Could your 2008 figure be based on assets rather than cash. Plenty of people back then had an asset "worth" over a million.

It appears to me that there is a massive gap between the wealthy and the not so wealthy.

I wonder was part of the plan on Easter Monday 1916..

Exactly. House prices were still pretty high in 2008 so that's why there were so many millionaires. I'd say that figure has gone down a good bit since then.
