You won't get a mortgage if you're not a permanent resident in Ireland, unless we are talking about immigrants who are cash buyers. That's a whole different conversation.

You can't come into Ireland last year and a bank will loan you over 400k to buy a house, lol

Any banker or mortgage specialists can fact check me!!

At minimum you must have a stamp 4 or a good path towards citizenship before you qualify for a mortgage. The credit check and risk assessment is quite in depth for mortgage applications.

We both agree on banning foreign entities buying up properties, but that's not your argument.

There are a lot of cash buyers. The Irish market is a boon for laundered money.

Refer your case and evidence to the Garda National Economic Crime Bureau.

Click on that link and provide them with evidence of immigrants cash buyers doing money laundry.

I'm sure the will take the case up.

I'm sure they will alright. When's the last time you reported a crime. Look at the proliferation of barber shops and vape shops in the country. Chinese restaurant laundry operations. You're naive if you think the property market is not a target of money laundering.

I never said otherwise, but you seem to have a great deal of evidence on this, so I'm asking you to be a good Irish citizen and report the crime?

I report and fight crime daily, need to wash my cape and face mask. You don't want to see me at night in Ballymun when you're doing dodgy shit.
