    I assume they mean tenancy i.e. couple each on €58,547.5 as most of those places wouldnt be a single person on their own renting the place.

    What do people expect really? Are we not allowed high income areas outside of South County Dublin or something?

    Hmmm, how does an estate agent know how much someone is earning when renting?

    They usually look for proof of ability to pay.

    The headline says 'tenant'.

    Maybe I'm just clueless, but I wouldn't have thought there were that many people/professions in this country on that kind of money, so it was a shock to me.
    A shock that you could be on that kind of money and renting too.

    Not hard to work it out.

    Who do you know that could afford 2,500 never mind 3,500 but the over 4k mark.

    I would say with Brexit it could get even worse.

    I would love a crash though where the hedge funds get burnt.

    Only the top level management of your average quango would be paid anywhere near that salary

    Banks, Google, Facebook, apple and many many more where they are on big money.

    Lots of these would be single occupancy too.

    Some are snapped up by the company themselves and put staff up in alao.

    It wouldn’t be too unusual for a couple who are in middle management to earn 60k each. The combined household income would be 120k. I haven’t read the whole article, is this 117k before or after tax?

    Because 117k BEFORE tax is not that shocking.

    I'm confused what should we be outraged about.?

    Two middle management people sharing an apartment in Dublin?


    Arggghhh outrage.... Outrage. Arggghhh...



    Have I got this right ?

    Two guards with overtime and in the force for 15 years would be on the same

    The headline says tenant. Implies one persons income to me. The article doesn't expand.

    And who is outraged?

    Well, renting may well just be a choice. Maybe they don't want to stay in that area forever
    Don't see why it would be a shock

    Including the top 1 or 2 who probably take in a couple of million a year, which massively skews the average figure.

    So, €1,650 a month each, bit more than €400 a week. It’s still affordable. It would fcukin sicken me to pay it, but assuming I could give up the car and walk to work, I could pay it and still afford to live. Look up rents in NYC and then come back to me!!

    Even still. Tech companies, finance, IT, are booming and paying big money for people who have very particular sets of skills. So it isn’t that hard to believe a single private sector person being paid this much. You’re coming across as very naive.

    IT, Finance, tax and Treasury

    The tax savings for being based there are worth far more to the companies at a corporate level

    The real crime is that the REITs who own those apartments aren’t paying much tax on their income.
