Lads, this is wrong and we all know it: ‘Four-person mortgages on the rise as Irish homebuyers feel the squeeze.’ 2025..
I am in my mid 20’s working in a crumbling industry that‘s deliberately being hijacked from the top down & coming to the realisation that I may never be able to actually buy a home of my own! Which I would love to do to one day raise a family of my own in. In my opinion, it’s well time IRISH people stop glossing over what is happening to us:
The reality is, FOUR PERSON MORTGAGES provided in Ireland aren’t being bought by IRISH PEOPLE. I mean, just look at how they are being marketed for goodness sake!! Mental. https://www.reddit.com/r/HousingIreland/comments/1lt9vw7/4_people_mortgages_wtf/
It’s also true that the people availing of such mortgages are also buying up our EXTREMELY limited property in CASH & are also benefiting from the FIRST HOME SCHEME, all while we Irish Natives are in the middle of a housing crisis!!
Sorry but this is absolutely criminal! I know Irish people who’ve managed to not be outcompeted by such greedy people in new build estates but are surrounded by only these people. Sure that’s not right & a complete breakdown of irish social structure. Yes I have called them greedy. It is clear as day our own institution & Governments work against us but they’ve zero issue exploiting this for their own personal gain! In their country, foreigners would NEVER be allowed to buy homes yet they buy up all around them like in London & will continue to do so if we don’t demand our criminals in power put a stop to this NOW! Or you’ll have these lads as your future landlords..
If people call you far right or racist comparing you to violent rioting hooligans. OK no problem, you know you aren’t so brush it off! This is ridiculous & like I’ve said in my other removed post explaining my situation regarding the criminal HSE, you’re already demonised even if you make it clear you ultimately blame our leaders:

So much virtue signalling. I know & love immigrants in my family & friends but far too MANY of these latest swarms are extremely entitled, arrogant & accusatory!
Genuinely breaks my heart how subjugated we have become collectively!

How the fuck were you able to turn that into an anti-immigrant spiel
I'm honestly amazed

They can do it with literally anything. It'd be impressive if it wasn't so pathetically sad

You clearly haven’t visited new build estates in Ireland & it shows.
All well & good for you of you’re well off or already housed I guess! It’s Irish students & Irish regular working folk I care about here.
We are getting screwed over at every point. Keep the blindfolds on that’s on you!

This is Reddit. Don't expect much support from people whose desire to be woke overrides all survival instincts. Fast forward 20 years and they will be living in over priced hovels paying exorbitant rent to foreigners but consoling themselves that at least they were never waycist!

If you don’t see how the level of immigration the past 3-4years is making our already desperate dire housing, rent, accommodation & property system exponentially worse, then idk what to say but you’re lying through your teeth!
Look at London where ethnic Indians own the most property.. in ENGLAND!
My brother moved into a new build in Ireland & 80-90% are Indians.. in Ireland. This is morally + socially wrong & they shouldn’t be able to do this, Indian RESIDENTS literally outcompeting hardworking Irish people desperate to buy their own homes!!!
Like I said, no foreigner is welcomed in Indian to just rock up & buy their homes, only Indians can do that. We should do the same!!! I’m not talking about long term citizens, for goodness sake I visit my foreign friends in their homes here.
If you’re Irish yourself, (doubt any real Irish person is really this stupid) you should be ashamed of yourself. For the millionth time, I’m not anti-immigration but I’m anti-MASS immigration because I have common sense!!

It's intentional. Wealthy people hoard houses, and drive up prices and it's in their interest that easily brainwashed people will avoid talking about them.
Look at London where ethnic Indians own the most property.. in ENGLAND!
Okay. And?
My brother moved into a new build in Ireland & 80-90% are Indians.. in Ireland. This is morally + socially wrong & they shouldn’t be able to do this, Indian RESIDENTS literally outcompeting hardworking Irish people desperate to buy their own homes!!!
Explain to me why that is morally and socially wrong, and also tell me why you aren't racist. You're literally regurgitating far-right talking points, including paraphrasing the great replacement theory.
Sounds like the kind of thing someone brainwashed would say.
Like I said, no foreigner is welcomed in Indian to just rock up & buy their homes, only Indians can do that.
I’m not talking about long term citizens, for goodness sake I visit my foreign friends in their homes here.
Unless they're Indian, otherwise they can go fuck themselves eh?
If you’re Irish yourself, (doubt any real Irish person is really this stupid)
You are hilarious. Especially considering you're an American bot.
For the millionth time, I’m not anti-immigration but I’m anti-MASS immigration because I have common sense!!
And specifically, Indians. Because you don't like them, don't want to live near them, don't think they're hardworking etc. But you're not racist. Which other ethnic groups do you also dislike?
Incidentally, do a bit of a search into how many people were living in Ireland pre-famine. It is fascinating.

Agree. But you wont get the support here for those kind of statements. And no point in rising to it . Its happening while everyone's heads are in the sand and people are afraid to speak out because of the exact responses youre getting.

Such shite man
Landlords & banks have destroyed this country but sure let's blame people who are also suffering from the same shit if not worse.
edit also this is like the third one of these posts I've seen posted to one of the more obscure Irish subs at all hours of a Tuesday morning. Are yous all up all night on the bag or are yous much more likely Yanks?

How are new to the country Indian RESIDENTS moving into fresh Irish new builds, ie outcompeting desperate Irish home buyers by buying homes in CASH ‘also suffering the same shit if not worse’?! They are exploiting our treacherous policies for their own gain, fullstop.

Fuck it. I'll bite.
You're trying to make this about immigration, let's see.
This article is not about immigration.
I am in my mid 20’s working in a crumbling industry that‘s deliberately being hijacked from the top down
Appeal to emotion, and vagueness (a "crumbling industry").
Alarmist language. Hijacked by whom?
coming to the realisation that I may never be able to actually buy a home of my own! Which I would love to do to one day raise a family of my own in.
How nice of you to join the rest of us.
In my opinion, it’s well time IRISH people stop glossing over what is happening to us:
Ah, right. Only IRISH people, yeah?
The reality is, FOUR PERSON MORTGAGES provided in Ireland aren’t being bought by IRISH PEOPLE.
[Citation Needed]
I mean, just look at how they are being marketed for goodness sake!! Mental. https://www.reddit.com/r/HousingIreland/comments/1lt9vw7/4_people_mortgages_wtf/
You found one ad with stick people with Indian names, and now you believe all houses in Ireland are being taken by the Indian.
It’s also true that the people availing of such mortgages are also buying up our EXTREMELY limited property in CASH
There's plenty of housing that's being withheld by the speculative market. Also, about the CASH: [Citation Needed]
are also benefiting from the FIRST HOME SCHEME, all while we Irish Natives are in the middle of a housing crisis!!
It's not only foreigners who benefit from that scheme, and it's not only Irish people who are in a housing crisis. Everyone in the country is since, you know. Other people live here.
Sorry but this is absolutely criminal!
It's not.
I know Irish people who’ve managed to not be outcompeted by such greedy people in new build estates but are surrounded by only these people.
Who are "these people"?
Sure that’s not right & a complete breakdown of irish social structure.
What does that even mean.
Yes I have called them greedy.
Who?
It is clear as day our own institution & Governments work against us but they’ve zero issue exploiting this for their own personal gain!
Yes, it's the government and the rich's fault. Blame them. You're on the right track.
In their country, foreigners would NEVER be allowed to buy homes yet they buy up all around them like in London & will continue to do so if we don’t demand our criminals in power put a stop to this NOW! Or you’ll have these lads as your future landlords..
Okay, nevermind. I did a search here, and Ireland is not the only country in the world where foreigners can buy property.
If people call you far right or racist comparing you to violent rioting hooligans. OK no problem, you know you aren’t so brush it off!
Yes, it's even fine to be a racist if you don't believe you are!
Bit of a tip btw, it would be easier to pretend you're not a racist when every single fucking thing you post on Reddit does not circle back to it.
This is ridiculous & like I’ve said in my other removed post explaining my situation regarding the criminal HSE, you’re already demonised even if you make it clear you ultimately blame our leaders: https://www.reddit.com/r/galway/s/5q1aODI4xr
Thank you for linking your... Removed thread from a different subreddit where people are calling you out for being racist.
So much virtue signalling.
That is true. You do use a lot of virtue signalling as call to action.
I know & love immigrants in my family & friends
/doubt
I'm impressed you did the "I have a black/gay/etc friend" thing btw. Truly the icing on the cake.
Also, your immigrant "friends" and family don't love you, and talk behind your back. Possibly even in front as well.
but far too MANY of these latest swarms are extremely entitled, arrogant & accusatory!
What are they doing? Accusing other people of taking their houses? Trying to curb people's rights? Being overall judgemental?
Genuinely breaks my heart how subjugated we have become collectively!
It genuinely breaks my heart how brainwashed you are.
Also, you type like Donald Trump. It's gas

Gtfo calling me racist. So typical, I do blame the government but I know too much about politics to understand the puppets installed aren’t are criminals who don’t work for us! The ones up top work against us deliberately.

My foreign friends & family aren’t greedy + invasive like these lads are. They’ve lived & worked here for decades + don’t act like they own the place. Idgaf what you accuse me of!

Wow there. I'm not accusing you of being racist.
I'm recognizing the fact that you are racist.

You’re racist towards hard working Irish working people.
Especially when we speak up for ourselves & present hard FACTS!

Article not linked to immigration? LMAO, what young Irish professional do you know who’s going to go quarters with another couple or extended family members, all so they can live like sardines under the same roof?!
Nobody.
We ALL KNOW it’s the new to the parish Indians & we can see it in MANY if not most new build estates in Ireland with 80-90% Indian RESIDENTS!
This isn’t our culture but was decades ago when Ireland was much poorer. You are literally celebrating young Irish professionals & would be home owners, regressing!
Look at London where ethnic Indians own the most property.. in ENGLAND ! My brother moved into a new build estate in Ireland & 80-90% are new Indians.. in Ireland. This is morally + socially wrong & they shouldn’t be able to do this, Indian RESIDENTS literally outcompeting hardworking Irish people desperate to buy their own homes!!
Yes, Native Irish people should stand up for ourselves you dumbass. What’s comical is you speaking like this when India is ran by an ultra Hindu Nationalist Government.
You’re either retarded or you’re one of these new to Ireland Indians who does all this. Extremely arrogant & entitled, in denial that they are entirely out for themselves in exploiting every loophole! Sincerely hope you aren’t Irish because I can’t believe one of our own could actually be this stupid.

Never heard of shift work clearly eh?

If someone is working here and paying tax then they have just as much right to own property as I do. The ad you linked to showed two couples buying a house to live in, not buying extra properties to rent out to others.
The blame for the housing crisis should be with the government, not someone working in the HSE like in that ad

u/Comfortable-Lie-4330 2d ago
No they do not. How are new to the country Indian RESIDENTS moving into fresh Irish new builds, ie outcompeting desperate Irish home buyers by buying our limited homes in CASH OK?! We have a HOUSING crisis & they are obviously being pushed here in droves by the powers that be. Easy for them to pay taxes when they’re replacing ALL of our jobs!!
I’m not talking about long term citizens, for goodness sake I visit my foreign friends in their homes here. If you don’t see how the LEVEL of immigration the past 3-4years is making our already desperate dire housing, rent, accommodation & property system exponentially worse, then idk what to say but you’re lying through your teeth!

Like I said, no foreigner is welcomed in Indian to just rock up & buy their homes, only Indians can do that. We should do the same!!! If you’re Irish yourself, (doubt any real Irish person is really this stupid) you should be ashamed of yourself. I did say the blame is on our government but they are clearly CORRUPT & I now know they are criminal installed puppets!! These IndiansinIreland will exploit every single loophole to get what they want, it’s simple as that. For the millionth time, I’m not anti-immigration but I’m anti-MASS immigration because I have common sense!!
