The Hard Shoulder Highlights

Why are house prices, particularly in Cork, rising steeply?

Ireland's housing market did not slow down through lockdown. Cork City and county have seen significant price rises through 2020 and into 2021 according to the latest Daft.ie Housing Report. The average cost of a house in Cork City rose 11% to just under €310,000, in comparison to the first four months of 2020. Marian Finnegan is managing director with Sherry Fitzgerald. She joined Kieran, as did developer Michael O’Flynn, on The Hard Shoulder to analyse what has happened to the housing market, and what can be done, particularly with residential construction starting to open up from April 12th.
