Are tech workers changing the Irish housing market?

from Newstalk Weekend

Big Tech workers in Ireland can be on salaries well above €150,000 and are one of the few groups that can still afford to buy homes within the M50. But, as economists have long warned, the reliance on the sector is almost too much and is seeping into every aspect of Irish society, even perhaps Ireland’s biggest problem: Housing. Joining Anton to discuss is Conor Skeehan, Sunday Independent Columnist, Former chair of the Housing Agency, and Lecturer in Planning at Technological University.
