Sunday Property Round-Up April 4th, 2021

 

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

 

 

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: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • Residents address the looming issue of high-rise developments: Following the Irish government’s relaxation of building heights, overshadowing and ‘right of light’ are becoming an important consideration for developers and other key stakeholders https://www.businesspost.ie/commercial/residents-address-the-looming-issue-of-high-rise-developments-6c5dcfe0

 

 

 

 

  • As the Property District Ireland team continues to grow, we are looking for an experienced Executive Assistant (5 years+) to join us. Excellent organisation skills essential! This is a full-time, mid-career position and not suitable for recent graduates. Also, as noted below, broad life experiences gained whilst taking a career break for any reason will be valued as such. We look forward to hearing from dynamic candidates who are seeking to have a real and positive impact on the business and on the industry. Email CV to info@propertydistrict.ie

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.

 

On #PropertyMatters iPropertyRadio.com this week I sit 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.
