2) Good article from #RTE detailing the current state of the #IrishHousing market. It seems likely that pricing has hit stall speed with the end of #COVID and the increase in inflation rates

IMHO, an increase in #housing affordability however is unlikely unless the number of units constructed is dramatically increased from ~30k units. I’ve seen various estimates in the past year which range from 40k to 62k.

Rating agencies were shown to be a scam during the last crash (See 'The Big Short'), so I really don't understand why anyone takes any of their ratings seriously now.

The global contraction in the fortunes of #SiliconValley companies is now making an appearance in #Dublin as Meta/Facebook opt out of occupying a major block of commercial property in the capital city

Where and how else will this contraction be felt in the #IrishEconomy?
