The disparity of household income across Ireland, but in particular, in the north west, has been highlighted.

Earlier this week, a CSO report showed that Donegal had the lowest median gross household income in the country just over €42,400.

The figure in Leitrim was over €47,200, while Sligo was just shy of €50,000.

Irish Rural Link say they believe the figures reflect the quality of the jobs available in the region.

It's CEO, Seamus Boland says income remains low despite cost-of-living figures reaching an all-time high.
