Ep 42: Deleted PR Video & 50-Year Mortgages: Ireland’s Housing News

Dec 20, 2025
11 mins

Episode Description

Quick roundup of the recent Irish housing chaos: a tone-deaf government video got pulled, 50-year mortgage ideas are floating around (terrible idea), the central bank’s calling out weak housing targets, and the EU’s finally moving on illegal Airbnb rentals. There’s also a new digital bank in town and mortgage rates are starting to fall; some good bits amid the nonsense.

If you care about buying, renting or just not being priced out, this episode packs the latest stats, a bit of ranting, and useful context to help you make sense of it all.
