Having no tourist sector will lead to a significant ongoing unemployment rate in this country.
That has little to do with not building hotels and everything to do with a global pandemic.
Ireland needs houses not hotels.
Good point about airbnbs. With no tourism industry for 2020 and maybe 2021 (besides domestic tourism) you’d imagine a good chunk of that Airbnb stock will hit the market as long term rental options, or maybe for sale options. Rental options feels much more likely though.
They are already on the rental market in Dublin, massive increase in supply
Serious money to be made in Airbnb.All cash too.
Not in Ireland, revenue have access to it
Double whammy of a big tax bill arriving and the market gone. Fuck them.

They do. They have access directly to Patreon accounts too.
I wish.
We are proceeding with our move just back from the solicitors there after signing a load of documents for the sale and purchase. Due to close and move on May 22. We thought there would be an issue with auctioneers valuing for the mortgage drawdown but no problem there our buyer had an auctioneer here last week and we got our new house valued this week.

You only post gibberish so a bit of introspection is badly needed with you.
Auctioneer valuations 
“What do you need it to be?” would be there first question or else they’ll have already been told by the mortgage adviser.

Yes in normal circumstances but they are putting in a COVID19 disclaimer which reads like a qualified audit opinion about uncertainty etc etc. We are lucky in that we are only borrowing about 55% of the purchase price and our buyer is only at around 45%. I know of one couple who were borrowing 90% (first time buyers) and the bank pulled the offer as the valuation was written down by 10%.
