Inside Business with Ciaran Hancock · How many new homes does Ireland really need? · 19 Aug 2026 podcast

But um the shared equity scheme as well, I mean, you know, if you're availing of that, you really need prices to keep going up, don't you?

Uh if you if you're planning to move out of that house at some point, you're gonna have to repay the the equity bit that the government holds and you really need prices to

well spent.

So how much has been wasted in your view?

been wasted?

How do you parcel off, let's say the border areas, the the counties that I mentioned uh earlier?

How do you sort of uh design something, a scheme or a tax measure or a break or whatever you want to call it that

But if if the demand is there in those counties for new housing and it's not being delivered at the moment

Why wouldn't builders build in those kinds of things?

Well the vacan

wonder is there a quirk to the census and and you would know this uh better than I would, but like a l on a lot of farms, there is the original farmhouse which is no longer used, and maybe it doesn't have a roof anymore, it doesn't have windows or it's not habitable, really.

But it's still a property, it's still registered, it's on the land register or whatever.

farmhouses with a roof, with windows, with a door.

Okay.

Uh but they're not uh there's nobody living inside because generally speaking they're not habitable.

Sure.

But in in terms of the West of Ireland, the prices are growing uh or uh border counties if prices are growing at more than ten percent uh as the CSO figures are are showing.

It's only one month, okay, but I think it's a trend uh going on for another one month.

Uh if that's the case, why aren't property developers uh moving into that market and saying, well, you know, there's huge demand here, clearly.

So uh let's let's act on that.
