‘Majority’ of Irish people ‘choosing rural setting’ on commuter belt

Kildare and Meath are also among the highest priced homes in Ireland – and Ms Tallon said it’s because of Irish people’s rural roots.“The urban [prices] did rise [first] and they were at a higher baseline, so the rural baselines tend to lag behind.

“The majority of Irish people are within two generation of the [rural] land, and when they can choose, they choose open space and to be immersed in nature.” Ms Tallon said deciding where to buy a home, raise a family and start life is a “once-or-twice-in-a-lifetime decision” and people don’t want to “take risks”.

The desire for rural life goes against Government policy pushing people to the city, according to Ms Tallon.
