Ryanair is considering buying apartments in Dublin to help staff struggling to find accommodation due to a severe shortage of housing, the airline's chief financial officer said on Monday.

According to the Irish Government, a years-long supply and demand mismatch in housing is stopping some large companies from expanding and could curtail a post-pandemic economic boom.
