Coming soon here?
New Irish index shows extent of property crash
The collapse of the Irish property price bubble has seen values plunge by up to 52 percent since a 2007 peak, a new government index showed on Friday. The first results from the new Central Statistics Office (CSO) index show that, nationwide, prices of residential property are down almost 40% on 2007 -- and they are still falling. Dublin apartments have been hardest hit, with prices falling 52% from peak. The monthly rate of decline increased in March this year to the fastest level since July 2009

@Icarus
I suspect anybody setting up a http://www.housepricecrash.co.ie site would be hung from the nearest lampost. The Irish are (rightly) unhappy and it looks as if it going to get worse for them.

thepropertypin.com is probably the nearest equivalent to a http://www.housepricecrash.co.ie. Pretty good discussion going on in the forums, gives a real insight into just how ridiculous the banana republic has become, and how deep a hold the property developers have over the Irish government and the banks.

There’s nothing more romantic than a hand in hand walk to the nearest cashpoint in the rain at sunset.
