At least €80k. Then you have to factor in less tangible aspects. The minimum wage worker can hop from one job to another, after all you're not going to get paid any less. The €80k person might be top of scale and locked in. If they lose the job it's game over. With a mortgaged house they are exposed to interest rates, housing crashes, negative equity, critical renovations etc.
You need to earn over €80k in Dublin to be better off than someone on minimum wage with 2 kids.
