I just searched for a studio apartment for 650 euro or less in north Dublin city on Daft and THERE WERE NO RESULTS.
This is insane.. how did such extortionate rents become normalized?
Earlier: How Much?

Are there any stats reflecting how many TDs are landlords?
https://www.irishexaminer.com/ireland/nearly-one-in-five-tds-are-landlords-registry-shows-399892.html
But 1 in 3 of FF and FG are landlords which means the rest are way lower than that fraction.
if your numbers correct then there are 0 non FF/FG landlords.
‘nearly 1-in-5’ of 158 TDs = 31
‘1 in 3’ of FF/FG (94 TDs) = 31
but we know that is not true since the “biggest recorded landlord is Michael Healy Rae”.. and “Social Democrat, Stephen Donnelly has rental property at Beacon South Quarter” and “Independent, Noel Grealish rented out a house in Galway and apartment in Dublin”.
Can anyone link to the actual numbers?
Ruth Coppinger said it on The Tonight Show last night and it wasn’t challenged so I assumed it was true.
Anyways, what would be interesting is a breakdown by Landlord TD. There is a difference between holding on to a starter home and 10+ buy to rents. Name and shame.
Marc MacSharry is such a slimy prick.
Six out of 19 Ministers own properties other than their family homes.
Agriculture Minister Michael Creed
Employment Minister Regina Doherty
Former Housing Minister Simon Coveney
Minister of State for Defence, Paul Kehoe,
Minister for Justice Charlie Flanagan
Chief Whip Joe McHugh
All registered landlords.
That is government only but even then, no details. They could collectively own half of the country for all we know.
spouses are still exempt.

And isn’t those figures just direct ownership rather than limited companies that TD’s may have an interest in?
its far from perfect,be great see how much the owe not simply ‘own’ and too whom !
If you set up a limited company then transfer your rental property into it, the one in five figure become meaningless.
Explains a lot.
just hold it in your partners/spouses name (which its rumored many do) then NO disclosure requirements !
Including SF?
La propriété, c’est le vol!
Thanks johnny for actual details.
Did you try 660?
The extra tenner is for avocados and za’atar.
Can’t say I’m surprised. It would have been a bigger story if there were ones available.you’d found one.
I think you have to factor in a long commute sadly or else emigrate. I was in Berlin duiring the Summer and you can get a 2 bed apartment in the old east berlin for 400 a month…
I think studios were 650 like…at LEAST five years ago. I remember looking in college and not being able to afford it.
@Paulie Doyle , remember the last few general elections? When either you or your parents voted for FG or FF, thats how extortionate rents became normalised..
Who should they have voted for?
Oh so there’s no one else to vote for so just keep shooting ourselves in the foot and vote FG?
I would vote for Danny Healy Rae. He seems smart.
I would recommend Berlin as an affordable city that actually works. No need for a car, public transport works so well, buy a bicycle, you can bring it on the train. When you cut out traffic from your working life the stress washes away. Same goes for not stressing so much about rent.
But if he’s working in Dublin that’d be a hell of a commute.
He can put the bike on the train so that breaks it up. Be grand.
it’s butt ugly Berlin though
and freezing cold
The Albert Speer parts are lovely.
Are we allowed say that?
Am I a Nazzy now?
Oh Christ, it’s becoming a property discussion website.
The Irish obsession continues.
It’s a hobby, darling.
A property discussion is bijou in Ballsbridge versus something roomier in Ranelagh. This is a ‘how to put a roof over your head’ discussion. There’s a difference. Stop trying to shut it down just because it doesn’t suit your agenda.
Property? Property? Property? Euros? Property? Property?
Sold! To the desperate bidder. Congratulations.
Shelter.
Foaming at the gams.
Sorry for your trousers.
Rape, murder!
It’s just a shot away…
Here is one in Ranelagh! Not quite north Dublin city mind…

There are over 200 house shares in North Dublin city also below 650 a month. We all had to share at some stage, made some great friends as a result. Or maybe you could get a proper job as opposed to ‘writer’ on online blogs.
Is that a job
