Maynooth is the focus of this question but it could apply equally to several locations in north Kildare, Kildare or other parts of the country. It is under the same pressure and has the same rent profile as Leixlip and Celbridge, for example, both of which are included. The fall-out from it has been almost immediate. It is as though landlords take it as almost a requirement to get their rents up to the average in the area if they are below that and there certainly are people under pressure to move out of their houses.
