Holy shit is my first reaction.
I feel like I am missing something here. Is a high % of that 56% the state buying social housing or something? (or am I being too naive…)
The Companies/Funds/Institutions is both public bodies and private investor funds, right? Is there a breakdown of that?
Now I’m no expert but I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that 56% is a bit of a problem.
Have seen this first hand. Friend of mine was moving to Spain permanently. I asked did they sell their house. They said no and instead a company had reached out to them and asked if they can use the house to rent it for their foreign employees.
So now it is essentially a shared accomodation for a company’s foreign employees. My friend gets guaranteed rent from the company each month and doesn’t have to deal with the employees etc. Not a bad deal for my friend but Jesus it’s no wonder we have a housing crisis if this is what’s going on.
The 56% cohort is a tax increase target that most the country would get behind
I’d like to see some of the backing data and a better breakdown of the 56%. Otherwise that’s just a shock headline
This is the market that Fine Gael have always dreamt of, watch now over the next decade as nothing changes
There’s a little bit of rage bait going on here.
The Companies / funds / institutions will include houses bought by the State (via whatever mechanism), they should make this more obvious. This includes things like cost rentals.
It will also include properties paid for by property funds, as in, the property wouldn’t be built without the investor paying to build it. If a company funds the building of 500 apartments for the rental market that goes down as being sold to an investor. These properties are never intending to be sold to private buyers.
That is sickening
>New data shows who bought houses in Ireland in 2025
I forgot Ireland is just Dublin
There’s only one number that matters there – 7,298. That’s a tiny fraction of what we needed to build so every problem will stem from there. People will fixate on whether it should have been more or less to first time buyers or funds but it doesn’t matter because we didn’t build enough.
People are rightly focusing on the percentages but 7,300 homes seems like very few to me. How the hell are we only building that many in the capital in 12 months?
I say we tax that 56% at a much higher rate than currently
Should the approved housing bodies and local authorities not be split out from non household buyers ? Just to see the impact the changes gov made on taxing companies buying multiple properties ?
Taking into account that „institutions“ are mostly council and government bodies buying straight from market, it shows that your taxes are working against you when it comes to housing…
You can be well into highest tax bracket and still not be able to buy new build. While your taxes are sponsoring new build for someone else… Which is fine, but not with proportions like that!!!
But IrishPatriot1488 told me not to worry about that 56% and only focus on the homeless migrants living in tents.
Well there’s our fucking problem.
The thought that people need somewhere to live, but private companies are allowed to buy up all the houses.
It’s like that story of Nestlé trying to own all the water.
My jaw…will someone pick it up off the floor please?
I’ve been saving for a house and the price of a home as risen more then I managed to save last year 👍
Where’s all the Ireland flag wavers who claim the housing shortage is down to migrants now?
Migrant multinational corporations maybe
What is this like compared to other countys how bad are we when it comes to this. I know were bad but how bad?
ban companies fund institutions of buying home.
This isn’t very helpful in understanding the percentage of non resident companies purchasing Irish property.
Approved bodies includes social housing… which is in turn artificially increasing the need for social housing…
This is intolerable. Why are we accepting this as a society? In short, we are not producing anywhere near enough houses, and of the few that we do, more than half are going to for profit organisations.
Well, we shouldn’t meddle in their profit making scheme. If we only had a government to put an end to it. Ah well…
Not Dublin but in Cork at the moment there are lots of large apartment developments underway, as far as I know all are being developed with/for approved housing bodies – not one is funded by an private institutional buyer (excluding student Accomodation). Open to correction if anyone has evidence to the contrary.
Sooooooo we’4re F-ed in the A with a big D of private investment!! 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Some dutch company bought an estate in Dublin about 5years ago, their CEO said WE’RE NEVER LEAVING EVEN IF WE LOSE OUT MILLIONS in the short term they know they will make it back long term.
If the government change the rules on this everyone will immediately pull their money out of the country.
So how do we combat this? Incentives for developers to only sell to people?
Legislation to encourage further high rise apartments let the investors take those and leave families have the housing 🤷🏻♂️
No idea just guessing at this stage
People have been saying this for a long time. The government have known this is the issue for a long time. Its not happening everywhere because most countries don’t allow this. It’s not just Ireland. Its mainly Ireland, UK, Australia, USA and to a lesser extent Canada. I came across this in a pod cast in Jan 23.
It’s not the foreigners, it’s our government’s and the business class. We are all allowing it. If you don’t reside in the country you can’t purchase residential property. Ban corporate purchases of residential properties. Let them develop them, let them invest in commercial property and infrastructure and fuck away from buying up all the fucking houses.

I feel like continuing to facilitate this is immoral. Most of those companies aren’t Irish. They don’t employ many people and they don’t pay tax. They’re taking 40-50% of peoples net income every month and exporting it. And they have no political constituency; if they were forced to liquidate 80% of their stock over the next 5 years , what would the political blow back be? It’s not a tax loss, it’s not a job loss, it’s not a reputation loss and the houses are needed so it’s not a funding loss either.
Regardless of the percentage split (which is indeed very depressing), less than 2000 people being able to buy homes for the first time in Dublin last year is absolutely catastrophic. Like really, really, abysmally bad. Think of how many people you know who want to buy a house, and now imagine them competing for one of less than 1900 slots. The competition to get into a home as a first time buyer is absolutely suffocating. Really don’t see a way out of this situation that isn’t a state construction agency mass building family homes for ten years, and this government will simply not do that.
Housing is a commodity traded by wealthy elites. Capitalism is awesome!
*in Dublin.
Social housing new builds from Dublin local authorities totaled 3,488 units in 2025. That means that, of the 4,079 units attributed to “companies / funds / institutions,” over 85% are actually social housing.
