Dubliners are the biggest binge drinkers in the country, according to new CSO figures.

Newly released data shows nine in ten Dubs say they have six units or more on a night out.

Statisticians looked at 70 indicators of how people live their lives across the country.

They covered everything from how much we drink to how fast our Internet connection is.

Regional CSO Figures

The results show one in ten people in Dublin are at risk of poverty, while that number grows to one in four close to the border with Northern Ireland.

Commuters in the Dublin area are most likely to get up early in the morning.

More than 30% of people in the greater Dublin region say they leave for work before 7:30am.

These CSO figures also reveal one in six drivers in Ireland have penalty points on their licence, while almost nine in ten people in Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown have broadband access.

Dublin is home to some of the women who have the fewest babies in the country, while Longford, Cavan and Waterford have the most babies.
