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!)

Series 3, Episode 1

Welcome back to Property Matters – episode 1 of Series 3, how did that happen?!

 

After a brief summer break (where our airtime was ably-filled by Proptech Ireland for their ‘Meet the Founder” series, listen back at iPropertyRadio.com),  we catch up on what has been happening in the marketplace with Pat Davitt, CEO of IPAV. We also chat to Karen Muldowney, Sharpoorji Pallonji Business Manager for Ireland and the UK about keeping construction projects going and winning new business during the pandemic.

 

We speak to CIM General Manager for Europe, Paul Walsh, about the increasing importance of data analytics for building operators and how this has changed – and needs to change – as a result of Covid-19.
