Michael McAteer, the managing partner of Grant Thornton Ireland, said that up to 30 per cent of the international recruits that his firm offered contracts to last year turned down the job due to the housing shortage.
“We continue to offer positions to people who accept them. But when they go and research the market to come and live here, we’re probably getting a 25 to 30 per cent cancellation rate,” McAteer told the Business Post.
Hey waky wakey Sunday Business Post but that has been going on for quite some time now it is just getting worse.

Fine Gael Cllr sent death threats after criticising social housing systemA Fine Gael councillor has spoken out about the death threats she received after criticising the social housing system in her home county. There are some politicians who continue to state that Violence against Women and Children is 'Justified' unless Female politicians stand against the Haters in their own ranks then this behavior will continue...sad but true... TDs are so out of touch with reality they do not realise the anger which is turning to rage now. TDs job is to make Ireland a community for the people and not slaves to banks, landlords and corporations.
