Irish property market news and insights – for the industry, by the industry  

 

 

Before we get stuck into the general property news of the week, below are the local and international stories that might be of particular interest: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • In Focus: Docklands’ defences raised against the flood of bad news
    Many in the property sector insist concerns over Google’s Dublin plans are an overreaction, but only time will tell. Fearghal O’Connor reports: https://www.independent.ie/business/irish/in-focus-docklands-defences-raised-against-the-flood-of-bad-news-39524060.html  

 

 

 

  • Irish Data Centre Industry Adds 1,800 Jobs in Next 12 Months https://irishtechnews.ie/irish-data-centre-industry-1800-new-jobs/

 

 

 

  • I look forward to hosting Day 3 of the Pensions Awareness Week (#PAW20) series of masterclasses where there will be insights about the property and pension. Panellists include David O’Meara from Greenman, Suzie Nolan from Aviva, David Jelly from Property Bridges and Feargal McKenna from Beacon Capital Ltd.

As always, you might let me know if I have missed out on any relevant property news by emailing  carol@propertydistrict.ie.

 

(Apologies in advance for any typos, it’s difficult to get good help on a Sunday. Also, I use voice to text dictation so just sound out anything that really doesn’t make sense in a strong rural accent and that should help!)
