      Ok but we should also compare that with population change. The population of Italy is declining, but the population of Ireland is increasing rapidly – about 2% a year last time I checked.

      My wife is from Spain. There are loads of rural villages full of empty houses; most are on sale for €20 – 30k. The issue is that no-one wants to live there any more. So a simple metric based on the number of houses per 1,000 population is not particularly informative

      Longstanding issue. People here want houses and eschew apartments.

      Yeah though we also need to consider the starting point. 2010 was right at the start of the recession with Ireland having a glut of ghost estates, mass emigration, property prices crashing etc. To be honest you’d probably expect that there was more houses available than in our current economy where we have net inward migration, a booming economy, etc
