Ireland sources
The official sources and calculation rules behind the Ireland country page. Values remain in euros and are removed from display when published evidence cannot be read or is no longer verified.
Annual earnings and sector range
Central Statistics Office
- Method
- The national average annual salary is the Q1 2026 average weekly earnings of EUR 1,075.58 multiplied by 52. The displayed EUR 44,130–66,381 range is the interquartile range across 13 annualised sector-average weekly earnings, with EUR 53,427 as the comparison value.
- Coverage and limits
- The range describes variation across sector averages, not the pay distribution of individual employees or graduate starting salaries. Q1 2026 values are preliminary.
Student living costs
Immigration Service Delivery and HEA
- Method
- The lower bound annualises the immigration finance requirement of EUR 10,000 per year to EUR 833 per month. The upper and comparison value use the Eurostudent 8 observed monthly expenditure average of EUR 1,340.
- Coverage and limits
- This deliberately combines a legal financial-evidence minimum with an observed survey average. Tuition is excluded and housing costs vary strongly by city.
International undergraduate tuition
Education in Ireland
- Method
- The dataset stores EUR 10,300–29,000 as the mainstream non-EU undergraduate planning range.

Minimum hourly wage
Government of Ireland
- Method

- Coverage and limits
- Younger workers have lower statutory rates, and actual pay depends on the role and employment contract.
Student visa fee and work limit
Immigration Service Delivery
- Method
- The dataset stores a EUR 60 single-entry study-visa fee and the Stamp 2 limit of 20 hours per week during term, rising to 40 hours in designated holiday periods.
- Coverage and limits
- A separate EUR 300 immigration registration fee generally applies after arrival and is not included in the visa fee. Permission depends on the course and stamp conditions.
Academic year
Education in Ireland
- Method
- The country page summarises the common September-to-May academic year and notes selected January starts.
- Coverage and limits
- Institution and programme calendars remain the final source for exact term dates.
Strong fields and work opportunities
Department of Enterprise
- Method

- Coverage and limits
- The list supports employment-permit eligibility analysis; it does not guarantee a job, salary or permit outcome.
Universities and technological universities

- Method
- The country page shows a representative national selection of universities and technological universities.
- Coverage and limits
- This is not a ranking or complete provider directory.
