FORFÁS, the state policy advisory body, is planning a review of the property market.

The agency said while the cost of property has fallen in the past few years, it wanted an in-depth probe of the reasons why Irish land prices, building costs and rents had been high, and to ensure prices do not rise unsustainably again in the future.

The purpose of the project is to assess what structural changes are required in the property market to improve cost competitiveness," it said in a tender document seeking consultants to help carry out the review.

Dogs on the street know why property market went out of control.
Another gravy train for yet another quango.

They will advice few things that will never be implemented OR it will be used as a vehicle to change things that won’t be possible politically e.g. HIQA closing smaller hospitals because they provide substandard TIMELY services. Patients are being told to WAIT for centre of excellence.

Advisory group forfas plans to pay someone else to research the property market, cut out the bits they don’t like and they publish it as an achievement of forfas thus, ten years too later, trying to justify their existence before the next round of cuts?

Sounds like a total waste of money, at a time when the government should be watching every penny it spends why bother with this?

I cannot say I remember a single contribution Forfas has made to the debate on property in Ireland over the last decade. And now this? Huh? Maybe I missed the memos.
