A modeled national band runs about €228,800–€462,600 around that midpoint. Licensing and immigration rules are independent of this cash sort. Employment outlook for the occupation is sketched at +8% over a decade — a national demand guess, not a hiring guarantee in every Irish city.

When metro percentiles appear, prefer those over this national midpoint for a named city. Until then, treat €334,000 as a country-level sketch and pressure-test any offer with tax and cost-of-living tools.

Ireland shows about 2.2% CPI in 2025. A psychiatrist raise that trails inflation is a real-pay cut even if it still beats last year’s peers. This occupation is also covered in 39 other countries — useful for remote or relocation shortlists, after FX and local tax.
