These figures may come as a surprise to many, as 54.6% of the nation’s graduate jobs are located in Dublin, while the entire province of Munster has less than 15%.

Dublin appears to have the lowest salaries on average in the country, but the rest of Leinster has the highest with an average salary of €29,000.

The industries with the highest starting salaries are law (€38,500), management consulting (€31,000), and IT/telecoms (€30,000).
