Outside the major cities prices were up 2.8% during the same period.
For the country as a whole, the average asking price for a house in Ireland grew by 1.9% in the second quarter.
This means that in all but one of the last seven quarters, the average price has risen nationwide - although the pace of growth has slowed from an average of 5% to less than 2%.
The average price nationwide is now €202,000 - compared to a low of €164,000 in mid-2013 and a peak of €370,000 in 2007.
