    That was well underpriced at 325k to be honest. Hugely sought after location, good condition

    I mean, they are not wrong. We desperately need housing, but the people those house bring need infrastructure. Politicians are only interesting in housing numbers at the moment, but we are largely neglecting the fact that these communities will need schools, creches, shops, public transport etc.

    Yes. The often seems to be an attitude that because we have a housing crisis, planning requirements should go out the window. We'd have a long time to regret this.

    A 1 bed, apartment in Kinsale with no view of the water for €575k.

    Does that sound like value to you!? :)

    The government have no interest in making houses more affordable. Value is long gone!

    All a function of how bad rental market is. When you look at how high rents are its how people can easily justify the big mortgage payments.
