If you missed last week’s round-up, you can catch up here: https://propertydistrict.ie/category/sunday-property-review/ 

 

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.

Before the Easter break I sat down (virtually!) with Paul McKenna, CEO of Mac-Group  the specialist construction, interiors and modular contractors based in Dublin, Newry and Birmingham. Topics discussed include the early days of the business, the importance of team, the value of experience to hone sector expertise, and what lessons the Irish Government can learn from the UK and other country’s handling of the construction industry during the pandemic.
