Investors should have tighter rules to allow long term sustainable tenancies

It depends on the investor. If they are investing from a country where the cost of living is lower and they will charge below the market price to Irish consumers then they should be allowed. If the foreign investor will purchase houses and charge above market price, then they should be banned
@9ZC8XG52wks2W
It depends if they are willing to rent or sell at affordable prices
@9YNB66M2wks2W
Give it a maximum but also say they have to live here for some time too
@9NSBV4S6mos6MO
Yes, no foreign investors or companies should be allowed to purchase residential properties in Ireland or Irish land without strict oversight as to their plans for the land
@9NHJYPF6mos6MO
Yes, but on a quota basis of nationals involved, and no to Israel or pro-Israel investment funds based in the States and UK.
@9MM9RGW6mos6MO
Yes, to a very small percentage of market availability to be accompanied by a large taxation on the purchase price, and a complete ban on any purchases from state-owned properties.
@9RHLPMZ4mos4MO
Yes but a maximum of 1 property as to reduce the chances of rich people from buying up entire estates
