    James May made a TV programme a couple of years ago, doing just that. Even the interior fixtures, fittings and furnishings were made out of it.

    It’s feasible that it’s down to planning permission lag. Could the Journal x-ref this with planning permissions ready to go in Dublin and other areas?

    Artificially choke supply with a high demand and prices will rocket.

    Go, FG/Lab – banks, developers and estate agents are loving this (your BFF’s). Everyone else, not so much.

    Loosening of post Priory Hall regulations for one off domestic dwellings are reportedly in the pipeline soon. Surely the potential to save tens of thousands by delaying a few months would be enough of a carrot to account for a slump.

    Why are we not building with hemp? Hemp had ability to store carbon, reversing climate change, and does not require buildings to be heated, lowering co2 again, and saving everyone a money except the energy companies… two guesses as to who is anti hemp

    Hold on – how can this be true? For the last three weeks and more the Journal has been bigging up the great resurgence in property values. JobBridge Joan told her party conference that the economy is in recovery and that “the cranes have reappeared on our skylines”. Surely we are headed to the promised land, and milk and honey awaits us VERY SOON. Live horse and you will get grass. It is always a little sad when the hype and downright dishonesty is exposed – hard not to feel a bit let down – YET AGAIN.
