The European average is €481.
Meanwhile private rented households in Ireland spend almost 34% of their income on paying their rent, compared to a European average of 28%.

Unfortunately we as working class people are being priced out of the rental market. A two bedroom house next door to me [in Kilmainham in Dublin near St James Hospital] that was €900 to me is going for €1300 a month! That is pure extortion.Now people are saying that its to be expected. No it is not. Wages are not keeping up with rent full stop. The house next door went up 25%, my wages went up 2% approx this year…
