As always, you might let me know if I have missed out on any relevant property news by emailing  carol@propertydistrict.ie.

SUNDAY LISTEN

Property Matters: Ireland’s First Weekly Property Radio Show & Podcast

Ireland’s first weekly property radio show, Property Matters, launched In January 2019 on Dublin South FM 93.9 and is now available internationally via iTunes and Spotify podcast (www.iPropertyRadio.com). The team delivers 60 minutes of industry chat weekly with guests from the areas of planning, construction, property and proptech.

On #PropertyMatters iPropertyRadio.com this week I was joined by Sally Anne Sherry, General Counsel at Bartra to break down the thorny issue of judicial review applications, what’s gone wrong, the role of the community in the planning process and how the delivery of vital new homes might be accelerated.
