Sunday Property Round-Up September 18th, 2022

 

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: 

 

  • This week we said goodbye to our old https://propertydistrict.ie logo, the Dublin skyline no longer represents the nationwide reach of the www.propertydistrict.ie  team and our tech-driven approach to helping the industry to communicate with stakeholders. We will continue to grow our Dublin base as we settle into our new(-ish) Galway office, where all services are now available through the Irish language. iPropertyRadio.com will now be located in Dublin and Galway, with recording facilities in each location. 🌊 For our clients west of the Shannon, you are welcome for coffee and brainstorming by the sea anytime! 🌊 https://propertydistrict.ie

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!)
