The State declared its intention in Project Ireland 2040 of ensuring that 80% of population growth over the next 20yrs takes place outside of Greater Dublin. There is always a degree of disconnect between what governments say they want to do and their actions via short-term decisions, policies and budgets, so it's easy to be cynical about that ambition. Though if they can make some of the proposed infrastructure projects happen in places like Cork then they will have some chance of delivering better population spread/balance.
So all being well, in 5-10yrs time the housing pressure on Dublin will have started to ease. Which could open up opportunities for a Pats project again ?
