Sunday Property Round-Up March 21st, 2021

 

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

 

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: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • Irish Manufacturing Research (IMR) and Vodafone Ireland today announced the launch of the country’s first 5G standalone mobile private network (MPN) in IMR’s Mullingar manufacturing facility https://amp.rte.ie/amp/1204713/

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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!)
