Dublin has housing shortage while rest of country has symbolic oversupply
Alan Maguire and Carol Anne Kennedy live, with two dogs, on a small housing estate just outside Waterford city.
The estate, just over the Co Kilkenny border, contains 12 semi-detached houses that were completed in 2010 and 10 others with black hoarding over the windows and doors. In front of the houses there is wasteground overgrown with weeds. This complex is surrounded by a big metal fence with an ominous warning sign.
When Alan and Carol Anne bought their house in 2010 it seemed like a bargain, though they were hurried along by “rumours” that the builder was in trouble. Three months later he went bankrupt. “We never heard from him again,” says Maguire. “The phone number wasn’t working.”
