New build houses – owner can’t rent them out for 4 years
Single houses – can not be owned by companies (if they want to invest in housing they can build and manage apartment buildings)

The country is run by landlords for landlords. Don’t forget that on election day.

From someone who is considering moving to Ireland, that’s fucking crazy.

How about the state sets up a housing authority, trains and employs trades/builders/architects, uses public lands or acquires lands without paying over the odds because they’re cowards or buddies with sellers and build vital housing at an affordable cost for people who are forced to work below cost of living.
They build houses. Supply will therefore drive costs of rent and mortgage down. House prices will go down. You won’t need 2 people working 2 jobs to get a house you deserve.
It is too profitable for FF, FG themselves and their buddies to change the situation. Supply low therefore more sought after and expensive.

What percentage of the population can afford to rent that property?

Real question here, who is the target market for this? Presumably four separate adults paying €1200 each?

I wonder if this is the kind of property and price set for big companies to pay when they transfer a specialist employee abroad for a fixed time…

Irish in London here. I pay £2.4K for a huge 4 bed, 2 bath, 2 reception + study area + garden maisonette in a really nice zone 4 area of London. There is no fucking way I can ever afford to move back to Ireland and no fucking way I’d pay nearly 5 grand to rent a gaff in the arse end of Limerick, even if I could afford it. It pains me so much – especially when the economy is swimming in money that could go on social housing instead of tax breaks.

My political manifesto.
House Sales – Seller sets a price. Sealed bids. No bidding wars. [Like Germany.](https://www.reddit.com/r/ireland/comments/1e5bnug/recently_had_to_sell_a_house_in_germany_family/)
