We’re not heading into another property bubble, according to the Junior Minister for Housing.
Damien English expects around 19,000 houses to be built this year – and says as supply increases prices will level out.
It follows CSO figures that suggest an 11 per cent increase in the cost of homes – with an almost 20 per cent rise in prices in the west.
But Minister of State Damien English doesn’t think we will return to the bad days.
