Sunday Property Round-Up August 15th, 2021

 

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

 

 

Calling all Irish construction SMEs, please sign up with the Government-appointed CSG Innovation & Digital Adoption body, which will be resourcing firms to identify and overcome challenges to critical digitization. Link here: http://eepurl.com/hDFYfL 

 

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: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • Hard choices await Ireland in wake of sobering IPCC report – Our government can no longer afford to take the path of least resistance on climate chance – and our dependence on fossil fuels must end immediately https://www.businesspost.ie/business-posts-view/editorial-hard-choices-await-ireland-in-wake-of-sobering-ipcc-report-8dc0c920

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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!)
