Sunday Property Round-Up September 5th, 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: 

 

  • The Government launched its Housing for All plan on Thursday and the reaction commentary has been flooding the national, trade and new media – some of this commentary is more helpful than others.. We have collated a post with the Housing for All facts, the intent (as derived from launch speeches) and the reaction of the industry (SCSI, IPAV and RIAI), the business community, property consumers and political opposition. Also, you can read about efforts to tackle NIMBYism (not in my backyard), plans for the taxation of vacant sites and the missed opportunity to incentivise rightsizing…  Read in full: https://propertydistrict.ie/housing-for-all-the-facts-the-intent-and-the-national-response/ 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • And yet: “I’ve lived around the world, but fell in love with Dublin – its people, its culture, its natural beauty, its history, and its sense of community. I want to invest in life here – build businesses and raise a family – but I’m not sure the Government wants me to… https://www.thejournal.ie/readme/housing-crisis-3-5536405-Sep2021/ [*we are failing a generation of entrepreneurs in so many ways other than housing, however, following on from our successful RIPPLE shipping container build in 2016 (https://caroltallon.com/ripple-container-homes-project), I am working on a new live/work shipping container project in Galway right now, email to get involved: carol@caroltallon.com ]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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!)
