Sunday Property Round-Up October 31st, 2021

Weekly 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:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • Local and global figures bring data centre expertise to Dublin: DataCentres Ireland 2021 will be held in the RDS on Tuesday November 16 and Wednesday November 17 https://www.businesspost.ie/commercial-reports/local-and-global-figures-bring-data-centre-expertise-to-dublin-3501ed21

 

 

 

 

  • Could a 19th century economist unlock the Irish rental crisis? Henry George’s ideas about the human right to a home continue to hold relevance for today’s property problems in Ireland https://amp.rte.ie/amp/1255890/

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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!)
