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!)

 

SUNDAY LISTEN

 

Property Matters: Ireland’s First Weekly Property Radio Show (& Podcast!):

 

Ireland’s first weekly property radio show, Property Matters, launched In January 2019 on Dublin South FM 93.9 and is now available internationally via iTunes and Spotify podcast (www.iPropertyRadio.com). The team delivers 60 minutes of industry chat weekly with guests from the areas of planning, construction, property and proptech. 

 

 

This week we have chosen to run our Co-living Special from the archives as we know this is an increasingly controversial – and arguably, misunderstood – type of housing here in Ireland. We need many more housing options, not just co-living, and we cannot allow a NIMBY approach to dictate housing delivery. We do, of course, need to address the very real concerns of neighbouring residents, members of the political opposition (now Government – what a difference a day makes!) and housing commentariat. 

Joining us on the show is Anil Khera, Founder and CEO of Node, Ed Burke, Founder of RooMigo and Claire-Maya Chawaf, a member of Roomigo. 

Also featured is news of Bartra Capital Property Group‘s Dun Laoghaire project and an interview with (then) Housing Minister Eoghan Murphy, where he explains his position on co-living.

 

Produced by Katie Tallon, Hear Me Roar Media

CONSTRUCTION & DEVELOPMENT NEWS

 

 

  • Lensmen: Documenting Construction Project Updates – The importance of maintaining site records in substantiating or defending delay claims:

    “While the evidence of experts is useful in a delay claim, contemporaneous records is the best evidence…The judgement is a reminder that the opinion of a delay expert alone will not substitute the requirement for evidence of the actual cause and impact of an alleged delay. The use of expert evidence must be connected to the factual evidence from the project site.”
