Figures from Daft.ie released on Tuesday show that rents across Ireland continue to rise, up by an average of 9 per cent over the course of 2015.

In the capital rents rose by 8.2 per cent, as demand continues to outstrip supply. This means that residents of Dublin 1 can now expect to pay almost €1,400 every month on rent for a two-bed apartment the figures show, or €1,632 for a three-bed house in Dublin 14.

At the top end of the market however, rents can substantially surpass this, with detached houses on the capital’s premium streets commanding almost €20,000 a month- less perhaps than the asking price of $95,000/month for a 5-bed townhouse on New York’s upper east side - but it’s a hefty chunk of money nonetheless.

So if money was no issue, what would your options for renting be in the capital?
