Previously, these announcements have not prompted a strengthening of prices. “In theory, the more markets the better for farmers. But the reality is that farmers have not…

Build to rent schemes unsustainable in Dublin

Dublin City Council chief executive Owen Keegan says too many build-to-rent schemes in Dublin have made them unsustainable. What’s more, this could impact the long-term housing needs of the city. In 2020, the number of these schemes applied for or granted was almost 82%. That’s up from just over 15% in 2018. Therefore, the new city development plan should restrict the number of build-to-rent schemes included. And this is contrary to…
