Slightly more expensive are houses in Cavan where the average price is €115,767.

Sligo is the eighth cheapest county to buy -- the price here is €124,639.

The most expensive areas are, as expected, along the east coast and in Cork and Galway.

Overall, prices were up almost 11% compared to last year with the largest rises outside Dublin.

Experts say lack of supply and lack of competition in the lending market will cause prices to keep rising.
