In this episode of The Crazy House Prices Podcast, I’m joined by housing expert Lorcan Sirr to dig into the numbers behind Ireland’s new homes. Last year, just 4% of new homes in Dublin were sold to households; the rest went to investors or the state. We talk about €875,000 apartments, why 9 out of 10 new builds never come on the market, and how government policy is geared towards landlords instead of families. If you want to know who is really buying homes in Ireland, this episode lays it bare.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
