Street Performing Salary?

On average what would someone performing on Griffin Street in Dublin get an hour or day? I know it depends really on what they are doing, but I just need a rough idea.

It varies too hugely to say - obviously, what they are doing makes a huge difference, but even for the same performer doing the same thing it depends on things like:

Day of the week
Time of day
Time of year
What the weather is like
What the economy is like
Where payday falls in the month for people
Whether there are many tourists about
Whether your act is new or if people have seen you before
External things like football matches etc

I used to busk a little, and sometimes you'd make a killing for half an hour, and then nothing for the rest of the week. Pretty random stuff.

And to call it a salary is a complete misnomer...
