    Maybe , but I see a lot of building site everywhere, unless they are all future empty offices and hotels for homeless people?

  2. Govt should become the states biggest landlord. If they decrease rents to a sustainable level in theory that should relieve demand on the market for a few years and give them time to get the construction industry sorted.

  3. For pointless empty office buildings, and overpriced “”luxury”” student accommodation, maybe.

  4. to their defensive I do see new estates being built left and right.

    My only problem is where was all this in the past 20 years? This crisis didn’t pop in out of nowhere just now.

  5. Speaking as someone in the industry, it is incredibly busy at thee moment. Office construction is dead. We are doing an awful lot of housing and apartments as well as large warehouses. Just today I am working on a huge housing scheme by the LDA in north county dublin. It’s very busy. But it was last year too. I wouldn’t call it a boom though.
