Sunday Property Round-Up January 9th, 2022

 

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

 

 

*First up today, I am delighted to announce the opening of Property District West in County Galway, a second office to accommodate the growing team and to complement our Dublin-based offering. All marketing and communications, including placemaking and social media management will be available through both English and Irish language. Email info@propertydistrict.ie to discuss further!*

 

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: 

 

 

  • Rent and mortgage crisis driving 300,000 into poverty: The Government’s Affordable Housing Act will only serve to raise house prices rather than make them affordable. Once again the Government has ignored people just above or already below the poverty line, writes Colette Bennett, Economic and Social Analyst with Social Justice Ireland. https://www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/commentanalysis/arid-40777839.html

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • I have a dream… and it could be achieved in Cork by 2025! 150 new trees for Pana, free public transport, the regeneration of North Main Street – these are just some of the things Kathriona Devereux imagines Cork could have by 2025 https://www.echolive.ie/corkviews/arid-40777803.html

 

 

 

  • The Irish wind farm industry has said changes to the national grid and the planning process are required if Ireland is to meet the Government’s renewable energy targets of up to 80% of electricity being generated from renewables by 2030 https://amp.rte.ie/amp/1269242/

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!)
