Poll: Are you a renter?

Of Ireland’s total wealth, 97% is owned by homeowners. Just 3% is owned by renters.

IRELAND’S WEALTH GAP is improving, but only if you have your name on the deed, Paul O’Donoghue writes in his column today.

Of Ireland’s total wealth, as of 2023, 97% is owned by homeowners. Just 3% is owned by renters.

What’s more, little has changed over the last decade. In 2013, renters also owned about 3% of Ireland’s wealth.
