The chief executive of Iput, Niall Gaffney, has said the move by a number of long-term investors to acquire offices in Dublin and other international cities in the face of Covid-19 “answers the question” about the future of the office as a workplace. Long-term investors look through 10-year and 20-year cycles. What I admire about the German investors that we deal with, and we’ve seen them active in the city, they’ve taken the opportunity to buy office investments in Dublin against this backdrop. That certainly appears to have been the case for Iput’s Dublin office portfolio in 2020. I think that’s what cities give you and that’s what workplaces give you.
