Vulture funds In 2025, a staggering 56% of new homes in Dublin were purchased by non-household entities.That’s 4,079 out of 7,298 new builds.
The 2026 Start In the first three months (Q1) of 2026, 7,856 new dwellings were completed. While the government claims this is momentum, a huge chunk of these especially the 2,355 apartments is destined for Build-to-Rent funds rather than first-time buyers.

Since Trump was elected, Meta got $21.7 billion in tax breaks & cut 11,600 jobs while Mark Zuckerberg got $34 billion richer and is now worth $237 billion.
The idea that corporations will create jobs if you give them tax breaks is a myth made up by CEOs who want more tax breaks.
