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: 

 

 

 

 

  • Michael Clifford: One-off housing too hot to handle as the planet burns: The environment may be in peril, the climate in crisis, all bets off as far as how we’ve lived for decades, but stay away from the political hot potato that is one-off rural housing  https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-40365950.html?type=amp

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • Energy company lobbied government for new €12bn zero-carbon town in Irish midlands: Phelan Energy Group is seeking state support to build an energy-efficient town which could provide homes for 80,000 people and create 45,000 jobs https://www.businesspost.ie/houses/energy-company-lobbied-government-for-new-eur12bn-zero-carbon-town-in-irish-midlands-5e6c3c40

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!)
