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: 

 

  • The housing crisis creeps into the countryside: A new report has shown that fewer than 800 properties are available to rent outside Dublin, but an investigation by the Business Post has found many more short-term lets are on offer  https://www.businesspost.ie/houses/the-big-squeeze-the-housing-crisis-creeps-into-the-countryside-e969a961

 

 

 

  • Political unrest is growing within all Coalition parties over the ongoing delay of the Housing Minister to produce a comprehensive housing policy.  https://extra.ie/2021/08/16/news/irish-news/minister-darragh-obrien-housing-unrest/amp

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!)
