Leo Varadkar warns over surging house prices
Property website daft.ie reported rises across all areas of the country in its latest update and claimed house prices will rise by 5% this year.
Speaking at the launch of a €15m Government initiative to help an estimated 80,000 unable to repay their mortgages, Mr Varadkar said the Daft index “does carry concerns for house prices and rent as well”. However, he reiterated that Fine Gael believes the best way to resolve the situation is to increase supply of homes.
