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

 

 

Unsurprisingly, the broadsheets today are dominated by commentary on the escalation of Ireland’s phased re-opening of the economy, however, there is very little focus on the property sector, which returns to the offices and property viewings etc tomorrow. 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:

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!)
