Sunday Property Round-Up, September 15th, 2019

 

 

Before we get stuck into the general property news of the week, below are a few local and international stories that might be of particular interest: 

 

 

  • The Ronan Group and Colony Capital have taken over the broadsheets again today with another (this time full page) spread urging:

‘DUBLIN – IT’S TIME TO LOOK UP. Our competitors across Europe do.’

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

 

 

(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!)
