2) Good article from detailing the current state of the market. It seems likely that pricing has hit stall speed with the end of and the increase in inflation rates

IMHO, an increase in affordability however is unlikely unless the number of units constructed is dramatically increased from ~30k units. I’ve seen various estimates in the past year which range from 40k to 62k.

With 35k, is Ireland’s least densely populated. The population now stands at just 35k compared to 155k in 1841, a decline of almost 80%.

Rents are inexpensive relative to the rest of the country, however prices are rising fast and like the rest of the country, there is a severe shortage of housing
