The Daily PollTHE LATEST FIGURES from property website Daft.ie shows that the average rent in Dublin is now €1,289 - up 14 per cent in the first quarter of 2014, compared to the same time last year.
Rents in other parts of the country are also on the rise, but not to the same extent as the capital.
