The Late Late Show and Ireland’s Property Crisis
Ireland is currently suffering through one of the worst housing crisis that the country has ever seen. It seems that the Irish public are either scrambling to find property that they can afford to rent or climbing out of negative equity on property they have already invested in. Ireland’s Property Crisis is a two part documentary chronicling a week inside the housing crisis, offering a snapshot of seven days in Ireland with some of those who are on the frontline of the issue.
The state of Ireland's property market was up for discussion on The Late Late Show on Friday as Richard Curran, the man who predicted the last property shock, was in studio to talk about where we are now. We also heard from young people from all over Ireland who are struggling to secure a home in a market that's running away from them. Watch the full show or individual clips now, on RTÉ Player.
