Money, while it cannot buy happiness, is an important means to achieving higher living standards. In Ireland, the average household net-adjusted disposable income per capita is USD 23 917 a year, less than the OECD average of USD 25 908 a year.But there is a considerable gap between the richest and poorest â the top 20% of the population earn almost five times as much as the bottom 20%.rish people earn USD 49 506 per year on average, more than the OECD average of USD 36 118. Not everyone earns that amount however. In all OECD countries, men still earn more than women, with an average wage gap of 15.5%. In Ireland, men earn 12.8% more than women.
