Proponents argue that it helps maintain affordable housing for locals and prevents property speculation. Opponents argue that it deters foreign investment and can negatively impact the housing market.

Investors should have tighter rules to allow long term sustainable tenancies

Foreign investors should only purchase property if they lived in Ireland for a long period of time or have a citizenship

If the property if for rental it should abide by a limit to how much can be charged for that type of housing.

Certain Restrictions based on what economic research based %age blend of domestic vs international development funding we should apply.
@9ZR9VY95 days5D
Definitely because private investors don’t care about affordable. Just scammers. There are some good private investors out there I’m sure

Add restrictions to people outside of ireland attempting to buy properties that they will lease out to make a profit. Reasoning being these houses typically have little to no upkeep and don't meet rtb housing standards/ cant get any form of regulations.

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
@9ZC8XG53wks3W
It depends if they are willing to rent or sell at affordable prices
