In his wonderful 1979 book The Old Patagonian Express – by Train Through the Americas, Paul Theroux notes that you can tell a lot about the state of a country from the condition of its railway stations.
The 21st century version of railway stations are airports. Airports capture the essence of a city or country. Traffic at Dublin Airport has surged from 18 million passengers in 2010 to 30 million in 2017. It’s still one of the best leading indicators of an economy’s vibrancy. If you want to see the human face of the hectic pace of economic activity, head out to the airport just before 6am any day.
On Wednesday afternoon the queue at immigration in Dublin Airport was long; a crowded line sneaking around and back again on itself, full of all sorts – as ever. Two women in the queue got chatting to me. They were coming home to vote. One was living in Vienna and the other in Berlin. Although they would love to come home, they’d both left Ireland for lifestyle reasons. They simply couldn’t have the same lifestyle in Ireland that they could enjoy in Berlin or Vienna on their salaries.
And within minutes, crawling along in the immigration queue, we were back at the perennial Irish conversation, rent and the cost of accommodation. Here were two clever, well-educated women, probably in their late 20s, who had taken their talent elsewhere because, had they stayed home, too much of their disposable income would have gone to on rent, leaving not enough to enjoy life.
They both guffawed at the notion of saving for a home in Ireland. They would have liked to be able to afford a similar apartment to the ones they lived in currently.
Apartment problem
And this is the nub of the urban accommodation dilemma here. Ireland doesn’t have a housing problem, it has an apartment problem. We are not just talking about Dublin: prices in Cork and Galway are also way out of whack with the rest of Europe.
An 85sq m apartment in Dublin will cost you €1,726 a month, making it the fifth most expensive city in the world after New York, Paris, London and Sydney. And things get dearer as they get smaller. For example, a studio or a small one-bed flat of about 45sq m in Dublin will set you back €1,102 per month, making Dublin even more expensive than Paris.
If you wanted to live alone – which most young people yearn to do – in a small apartment in Cork or Galway, you will be paying more than you would in Rome, Barcelona, Madrid, Berlin or Montreal.
But the real sign that something is dysfunctional here is Belfast, which is by a long shot the second city on the island, far bigger than Cork and Galway combined. Yet rents are much, much lower. A studio in Belfast is half the price of a studio down the road in Dublin. A two-bed flat of 85sq m in Belfast costs €625 a month, one third the Dublin equivalent and more than €300 per month cheaper than either Cork or Galway.
Northern Ireland allows us to compare and contrast. Having two jurisdictions on one island is akin to an economic laboratory. Something is wrong here and Belfast is the proof. Before we look at this in a bit more detail, consider the other consequences of the apartment market failure.
Exorbitant rents are not just an economic issue. They are a social issue and familial too because if you can’t move out, you don’t grow up. This is a simple statement of fact. Growing up involves certain milestones, such as moving out from your parents, maybe moving in with your boyfriend, girlfriend or just sharing with friends. It involves having a job that pays decently, allowing you to save a bit and plan for your future, with one eye on starting a family if you meet the right person. And for most, these milestones involve marrying or settling down and getting your own place. This is what becoming an adult means, more or less.
This is what these women in the queue were talking about when they talked about lifestyle.
In my generation it was possible to achieve all these milestones by your late 20s. It wasn’t easy but it was a realistic aspiration to aim for.
Now these milestones are being pushed out a decade or more. Growing up in Ireland is not what it used to be. Census 2016 recorded 458,874 persons aged 18 and over living with their parents, of which 58.6 per cent, or 268,944,were young and not so young men. A total of 189,930 young women were living at home and, worryingly, 215,088 of these young people at home were at work, meaning they can’t afford to move out despite having an income.
Psychological impact
The emotional and possibly psychological impact of postponing adulthood could well emerge as an issue in the coming decades, simply because being a sovereign individual capable of standing on your own two feet is a fundamental ambition that most of us have.
The solution to the apartment crisis is an economic one. Ireland needs to build lots of apartments and build up. Belfast has done this. The Belfast skyline dwarfs Dublin’s. In recent years, Belfast has gone up and rents have stayed down. However we do it, the growing population demands that we have to house the equivalent of a town like Clifden every month for the next 50 years.
This social and economic task demands we get to the root of the problem. High rents and house prices are the consequence not the cause of the problem and the underlying cause in Ireland is that the interests of landowners have always been put in front of the interests of the citizen. It could be termed “radical feudalism” whereby we have all the rhetoric of a citizens’ republic but an underlying economic structure of land-based feudalism.
As long as that remains the case, Dublin Airport will be full of young, capable workers who emigrate, pushed out by higher and higher rents which enrich a smaller and smaller proportion of the public.
david I agree with your comments and suggest the following solutions. Either the state needs to aggressively tax second home /investment property ownership or short term lets (ie airbnb) should have a significantly higher tax on income than longer term lets. With the arrival or airbnb etc huge amounts of longer term rentals have been removed which has totally distorted the rental mkt in recent years. I agree with the idea of building higher but as seen in the uk this does not solve the problem as investors just buy these properties and the previous cycle just continues. The only… Read more »
This is a very interesting idea. I’ve never really worked with the Credit Unions, but this makes them seem very viable!
I don’t agree with djv; why excessive tax people who have second homes as investments? They are proving pensions for older people. I hope the ladies who came to vote are resident in Ireland, otherwise they should not have voted. I have paid tax in Ireland for 30 years, claim not benefits from the Irish government, pay my car tax and LPT online, yet I am not allowed to vote,
The most obvious demonstration of people power currently is the level of objection to any development. Our planning process effectively gives property owners a veto on increasing density in our cities. You can’t blame the property owners as they are rationally pursuing their economic interest. Our planning process is deeply dysfunctional as it gives far too much power to the haves at the expense of the have nots. Charging a local property tax based on site value would go a long way to addressing the problem as property owners in low density central locations who resist development would have to… Read more »
Hilarious. Belfast is showing us a problem….even though the Irish establishment has spent almost two years saying that we are better than then, and they are screwed. Actually, they are winning the cost competitiveness battle – because Britain is winning is winning the competiveness battle. British cities are ALSO lower in cost, with the exception of the London area. Once one passes Milton Keynes, it gets cheaper than Dublin. The real problem is that Ireland’s super expensive institutional state is holding back Ireland’s economy. To the point of driving people out. In fact this has been the problem since 2005.… Read more »
David’s suggestion concernig Dublin Port, is relevant.
The best solution is to move Dublin Port to a different location, and build the area as a business/residential/commerical/amenity/transport development.
Its actually a serious societal issue on number of fronts. If the people cannot move out and start their lives resentment will develop. Also, if people cannot afford to own their own home they have no investment in a stable society and there is little to stop them rebelling in a serious way. As they don’t own any property they don’t care if they scorch it. I whole heatedly agree with the co-op model and went to Berlin to visit several very successful coops to see how they do it. Excellent system one of the coops has 45,000 residential units… Read more »
Spot on David. I can’t understand why the magnitude of this problem is not appreciated. Mid and long term prosperity depends on this. Millennials are driven by different aspirations related to a work/lifestyle balance. If we don’t meet their requirements, they will go elsewhere and we will loose the most valuable assets in the new digital economy. The Stripe founders gave fair warning last week – how do you suggest we mobilize?
David, not sure if you noticed the fire at Grenfell Tower last year. The public inquiry is just starting. Ramifications for this area in these isles will be very, very big – this we can be sure of. The prospect of medium to high rise apartment construction on anything approaching a sufficient scale to affect rents and prices in this country is very unlikely. Unless, of course, the communists take over and start building them in a soviet socialist style frenzy! Seriously, not semi anti-EU government can take over in a country anymore – we just saw this in Italy.… Read more »

A four bedroom Dublin five home that cost 70 k in 1992 costs eight times as much today.Wages have barely doubled. Prices in Leeds and Manc land are less than half the Dublin price.Bill Cullen expects people to work unpaid, plenty of unpaid jobs publicly advertised and based in Dublin.This is breaking the law. No govt dept wants to know. Limitless immigration has destroyed the housing market, why does Ireland have an open labour market with central and south America?
Another issue….taxation. Taxation in Ireland is excessive, because the system needs so much money. Ireland is a ponzi scheme once again. Just look at the public deficit, and the over-sized commitments of a vastly over-extended institutional state that has stretched itself beyond it’s realm of competence. In fact……does it even have any competence any more ?
From CJH onwards, Ireland’s leadership has aped France, another country with an excessively centralized state, when we should have tried to learn from countries of similar scale like Denmark and Switzerland. But France was core to the EU project, so this was also “political union correct”. And now we have an excessive, over-extended, largesse loaded, state system that cannot restrain itself. We are heading in the direction of driving business away from Ireland, for the sake of politics.

The cost of housing is a direct result of the inflation of the money supply. It simply means that it requires more money to buy the same product. The increase in the money supply has gravitated to monetary instruments and not to those devoid of such. Thus the “inflation” is apparent in mortgage rates, interest rates generally being lower. This also drives the bond and stock markets and the pay packets of those involved in such activities. This is the land of the city slicker. In Ireland’s case, Dublin.

Good article as always David.
To be honest, I don’t think building more apartments is the answer. There’s an issue with churn, first time home owners, in this case apartment owners being unable to move on due to the poor supply of affordable houses. Apartments are then being held onto or lived in longer than originally intended, resulting into a poor supply to those on the first rung of the ladder, be it rental or purchasing.
Are we not back to a point in time when we are selling overinflated properties to each other. We had the hedge funds or vulture funds swoop in on the wreckage of the last crash and now we are back to that point where David lectured so eloquently on in the past.

Ireland needs a REDEVELOPMENT policy. The developable land is there in abundance. But it is occupied by obsolete, inefficient 19th Century row housing. That is the problem. The solution is remarkably simple and widely used throughout the world – government tax policy. There are hundreds of tax incentive programs currently in use around the world, each reflecting a country’s existing tax structure. The Irish Government just needs to study our own particular tax structure and adopt a suitable land use tax incentive scheme. The results would be spectacular.
