Hello all, I've been wondering this because I am aware that our GDP figures are distorted by all of the corporations that have set up here due to our tax laws. Looking at the numbers we are all well off here on average but it certainly does not feel that way. Google is no help in finding a number that accounts for the inflated numbers. Apologies if it's a dumb question but it has always made me curious.
What is Ireland's 'real' GDP per capita?

The stat you are looking for is GNI*.

This is reported as a total here but just divide by population to make it per capita.
You may also be interested in AIC (actual individual consumption) which measures per capita consumption in a way that is comparable across countries.
