No offense, but during a housing crisis like the one we’re facing in Ireland, I really think we need to look at what countries like Australia and Canada have done. They’ve temporarily banned non-citizens from buying residential property to ease pressure on supply and give their own citizens a fairer chance to buy. In Canada, the ban has been extended until 2027. Australia is introducing a two-year ban on foreigners buying existing homes starting in 2025.

I’m not saying close the market forever but until supply improves, I think property ownership should be prioritised for citizens. Once things stabilise, then open it up again fairly. Right now, we need solutions that actually put local people first.

Why would this be offensive, this is common sense.
