High living costs impacting rural income
Manage episode 479011965 series 2576057
The disparity of household income across Ireland, but in particular, in the north west, has been highlighted.
Earlier this week, a CSO report showed that Donegal had the lowest median gross household income in the country just over €42,400.
The figure in Leitrim was over €47,200, while Sligo was just shy of €50,000.
Irish Rural Link say they believe the figures reflect the quality of the jobs available in the region.
It's CEO, Seamus Boland says income remains low despite cost-of-living figures reaching an all-time high.
