Sunday Property Round-Up February 20th, 2022

 

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

 

PR and marketing for property and construction

 

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: 

 

 

 

  • Ireland needs MORE international property funds, not fewer, to solve the housing crisis, Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe has claimed. Paschal Donohoe revealed on Tuesday that Ireland has a massive €4billion-per-year shortfall in investment which is needed to build 33,000 houses a year – money that could come from foreign investment funds  https://extra.ie/2022/02/16/property/paschal-donohoe-property-funds?amp=1

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 and podcast, which launched in January 2019 on Dublin South FM 93.9 and is now available internationally via iTunes and Spotify podcast (www.iPropertyRadio.com), returned last month for a fourth season.

Also, in part 2, Cathaoirleach and Labour Cllr. for Dublin Rathdown Lettie McCarthy, and Fianna Fail Senator (Industrial and Commercial Panel)  Gerry Horkan, join Bryan Fox to discuss the briefing for the final meeting about the Dun Laoghaire County Development Plan.

  • Worker shortage jeopardises Spain’s EU-funded recovery plan:  When Spain’s decade-long housing boom spectacularly bust in 2008, some 1.8 million jobs vanished and a nation littered with cranes and building sites slid into brutal recession. Now those construction workers are urgently needed back: an unprecedented labour shortage is jeopardising multi-billion euro building and renovation projects funded by the European Union to help Spain’s economy recover from COVID-19. https://www.euronews.com/next/2022/02/17/spain-construction-europe
