Description
Leading journalist Matt Cooper examines the key players behind the scenes of Irish property ownership. He investigates who really controls the valuable land where we live, work and play, and how they acquired it. This comprehensive account of the Irish property landscape reveals the power of those wealthy enough to accumulate these properties. Cooper's study sheds light on the new foreign investors buying property and land in Ireland, and what this means for ordinary citizens. He explores the ownership of shopping centres, wind farms, forestry, and data centres, providing a riveting account of the Irish property landscape. This book is an essential guide to understanding the ground beneath our feet and the roofs above our heads. Fintan O'Toole praises Cooper's research as "brilliantly written with verve, clarity and narrative punch". Rory Hearne notes that Cooper provides a vital interrogation of who owns land and property, shedding light on Ireland's housing crisis.
