Maybe Portugal is a bit freakish and an outlier, but has NERI looked at other European countries? What is the underlying cause of this? Is it our booming economy? Is it the massive number of highly qualified people coming into the country and competing for houses? What are the underlying causes? Have they looked at unique issues in relation to Ireland versus countries? It is purely a western world problem.
