    I imagine Leitrim or whichever county has the fewest school leavers. Finding the average per 100 students would probably be a better measure.

    That's Dublin, followed by Waterford I think.

    As in they're the lowest.

    As for the highest percentage attending college.

    Leitrim is near the top. I believe Roscommon is top.

    In the last census or over several censuses?

    It's not a census stat though. It's based on CAO figures.

    For some reason the Independent and Times report on this every year.

    Ok never heard that. The data you read is just for one year? It’s probably Dublin every year, I wonder is there a similar pattern after that every year

    You could tot up each schools % from this and divide it by the number of schools in the county.
