Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis

Context Phase

Mr. John Moran:

I would almost read it the opposite way, in so far as what it actually caused was Irish capital to fly out of the country to seek better returns elsewhere. There is no tradition of foreign ownership of Irish real estate going right back to the 1970s when commercial real estate started to get really developed in Ireland. The proportion of foreign owners in the Irish market has always been exceptionally low but that has changed significantly in the past three years.
