Pretty surprising how ignorant of the world around you.
Ireland is setting rents plateau whilst they continue to accelerate in the rest of Europe.
The likes of Germany who are already building less than us per capita are expecting a 32% drop in construction, with us increasing ours.

And we’ve no far right elected
We’ve had some run. Population soaring. Full employment. Bikes and buses. Renewables. What a government.
Wow. I thought these lads paid no tax.

Corporation taxes recovered strongly in the month of November, helping the Exchequer to deliver a surplus of €5.4 billion.
Just over €6 billion was collected in corporation tax, an increase of €1.3bn - or 27% - on last year.
For the past three months, corporation tax has come in lower than government forecasts.
But in November, a bumper haul of €6.3bn came in reversing that trend and putting the public finances back on track.
No European country has a housing shortage like us.
Ukraine seem to have one

They’re going that way. Things are getting very bad in Europe- same goes for most of the OECD.
The point was on infrastructure though. We’ve been building a lot more houses than our European peers the last 3 to 4 years. Last year we were 4th and this year we will likely have the highest output per capita. Our rates are set to continue to grow next years whilst Europe goes backward. The big reason for that is the wall of money we have put into housing.
It is amazing that real rental costs in Dublin fell last year despite us taking far more Ukranian refugees than our peers in Western Europe. I think only Luxembourg took more.
So you acknowledge no peer country has a housing shortage like us. It’s quite a simple point.
That’s cause every hotel in the country is full of them.

She’s an idiot. Tho 61.27% of the electorate will have no idea of events like last night or politics in general and will vote solely on housing and immigants
Hard to know now with the situation getting worse.
They reckoned at the outset of the year that the Dutch are short 400k houses now.
The EU housing commission reckoned we were 180k short so not far off.
Ours is improving though. We could get as high as 34k constructed this year while they won’t get to 70k. Moreover they are expecting things to get worse there next years whilst we are expected to improve.
A quick look around shows many of the same things that happened here, it was the major election issue.
Housing crisis biggest concern for voters at Dutch election | Euronews.
The Netherlands are having the exact same discussions as we are here, except that cutting immigration appears to be more on the agenda there and the youth are veering more right win as a result. Anyway, that’s a topic for another day.
The point here though is your snarky comment is not accurate. We are spending a fortune on housing and that is propping things up despite the massive cost increases and other challenges with building.
Again, not unique
They’ve been giving the homeless the boot from hotels in Paris to prepare for the Olympics
