Figures from the RTB show the average rent in the Killarney area is currently just under €1,200 (1,189), it’s €951 in Tralee, and €855 in Kenmare.

There are no figures available for Listowel, Castleisland, or Corca Dhuibhne, as rents in areas with less than 30 observations aren’t published for statistical reasons.

Nationally, the number of newly registered tenancies has fallen with a year-on-year reduction of 48 per cent in Q4 2021.
