Ireland is now “being looked upon as potentially having addressed” its housing problem, the boss of Glenveagh Homes, Stephen Garvey, said last month. He meant the Government had put in place the right policies to expand the State’s housing stock and that foreign investors recognised this. He had just returned from the MIPIM real estate conference in Cannes, where he said the mood music from institutional investors about Ireland was positive. The higher buildout rate is very much dependent on the State delivering the necessary infrastructure, it said. One possible fly in the ointment is the current acceleration in input costs as a result of the Iran war.
