Sunday Property Round-Up: April 14th, 2019

 

This Sunday Property Round-Up is coming to you from London so I am restricted to industry news published digitally and, of course, all the top stories of the week.  If you missed last week’s round-up, you can catch up here: https://propertydistrict.ie/category/sunday-property-review/

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

 

 

  • Last Sunday I wrote about the grant of planning for the 22-storey Tara Street Tower (which I am fully in favour of) but the news was met with mixed responses – this is one of the fairest commentary pieces: ‘Poll: Were planners right to approve Johnny Ronan’s Tara Street tower? Some say it will attract further investment to inner Dublin. Others think it will ‘damage’ the city’: https://fora.ie/johnny-ronan-tara-street-tower-3-4581412-Apr2019/

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

(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!)

#PropertyMatters 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 (@iPropertyRadio). Seasoned political journalist and broadcaster, Bryan Fox, and I (Carol Tallon) team up to deliver 60 minutes of industry chat with guests from the areas of planning, construction, property and proptech. Produced by Katie Tallon of Hear Me Roar Media.

 

As I was working from London this week, Gavin Gallagher of Proptech. TV took on my hosting duties (most excellently!) and, alongside Bryan, spoke to Saoirse Sheridan of Elder Home Share; Healy Hynes spoke about the Purplebricks UK saga, while our very own Emma Hayes spoke about the launch of the Property District annual Estate Agent’s Guide to Social Media 2019 (link above).
