I’m a dyed-in-the-wool science-fiction and fantasy nerd, and my formative years playing Dungeons & Dragons and Warhammer first introduced me to armored warriors, which eventually led my parents (because back then they thought D&D turned you into a Satanist) to steer me toward military history.

However tangible progress has been limited which has helped boost support for the main opposition party, Sinn Fein.I thought it necessary to discuss this subject at some length, because at the time many Greeks supposed when the Macedonians were beaten that it was incredible and many will afterwards be at a loss to account for the inferiority of the phalanx to the Roman system of arming.

Ireland’s coalition government has announced a series of measures, external which are intended to increase housing supply. However, unemployment among previously employed construction workers is at a record low which the council says research suggests is likely due to high emigration from 2008–2012 of this cohort. It warned there could be "a limited desire" for employees to switch into construction work due to "a multitude of scarring effects from the sector’s collapse in the late 2000s".ĭuring Ireland’s property and banking crisis thousands of construction workers lost their jobs and businesses. "This suggests that without significant immigration of building workers over coming years, or a switching of workers into construction from other sectors, it is unlikely that the shortage of dwellings in Ireland will be meaningfully addressed," the council said. That peak level of construction employment coincided with peak annual inward migration of 151,100. The council points to official figures which show that last year there were just over 63,500 workers in construction, compared to a peak of 115,550 in 2007. It warned that one of the difficulties in tackling the problem is a shortage of skilled workers. ‘This context is important for understanding the main causes of Ireland’s capacity constraints, and their effect on the sustainability of economic growth over the medium term." "Forecasts for new dwellings construction are only sufficient to keep pace with a rising population, rather than addressing the stock’s shortfall," it said. However the council warns that the economy is now hitting capacity constraints, external, primarily housing.
Ireland’s economy has recovered relatively strongly from the pandemic and inflation is now falling from its recent peak. It describes the shortfall in the housing stock as "a fundamental challenge" for the Irish economy. The Fiscal Advisory Council said investment in housing has been low in Ireland for more than a decade. Housing has become one of Ireland’s biggest social, economic and political issues. A housing shortage in the Republic of Ireland will not be solved without "significant immigration" of construction workers or by persuading people to switch from other sectors, an economic watchdog has warned.
