Sunday Property Round-Up May 2nd, 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: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • We need pragmatic housing policy, not Sinn Féin ideology – There remains a nostalgia for the large council schemes built in the last century – yet they were not built overnight but over decades at a time when building standards were far lower and cheaper https://www.businesspost.ie/houses/david-mcmanus-we-need-pragmatic-housing-policy-not-sinn-fein-ideology-9693de0e

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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!)
