Sunday Property Round-Up July 25th, 2021

 

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

 

Message from PJ Rudden: Calling all Irish construction SMEs, please sign up with the Government-appointed CSG Innovation & Digital Adoption body, which will be resourcing firms identify and overcome challenges to critical digitisation. 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 situation is a little more nuanced than portrayed in the following article (the State knows that delivery is largely dependent upon the private sector), however, we certainly need more political bravery than we are seeing right now… ‘Cairn Homes chief: Ireland is a country that doesn’t support builders’: Senior members of IIP accused department of ‘locking out’ prospective homeowners from market and not supporting builders  https://www.businesspost.ie/houses/cairn-homes-chief-ireland-is-a-country-that-doesnt-support-builders-687cb074

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you missed last week’s round-up, you can catch up here: https://propertydistrict.ie/category/sunday-property-review/ 

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 & 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 this week I was joined by Senator John Cummins, Fine Gael Spokesperson on Housing, Heritage and Local Government to discuss the Affordable Housing Bill, including cost rental, and other State measures to tackle the delivery of vital new homes across Ireland.
