Well paid people invest in property in a country that incentivises investing in property.
Shocked

This sounds bad but probably isn’t out of line for the demographic (middle class professionals).

Nearly 1 in 5 newspaper articles are recycled rage bait.
How long until we get another PS incremental increase so the papers can trot out the stories about TDs giving themselves a pay increase?

So most TD’s are not landlords… contrary to what everyone here keeps moaning about.

If they’re not prepared to make investing in shares and ETFs more tax efficient then I guess there’s not a lot else they can do with their savings. The pensions already well covered. Their expenses are also not tracked to any great degree so gonna be banking most of the salary lets be honest.

Our elected representatives should be banned from having these conflicts of interest!
Ending the housing crisis requires proper rent controls (a nationwide rent increase cap and a maximum rent set by a rent reference index), abundant public housing, and support for housing co-ops.
But ending the housing crisis requires rents, prices, and profits to fall – with so many TDs (and their partners and family and friends) profiting from these same extortionate prices and rents, they will not vote against those interests.

That’s more a reflection of Irish society, where anyone with a bit of money is funneled towards property investments – with all the downsides of this for society. We need those ETF changes to be made, and we need to encourage investment outside of property.

well well well, profiting from your own decisions and actions is called insider trading and a conflict of interest everywhere else, they also either own the IPAS centers or are getting massive kickbacks
