Republic of Ireland Should Follow Britain's Lead and Leave the EU Now

Counted 17 cranes this from a single spot this morning. All office space. No idea where everyone is going to live, send their kids to school etc.

London is a ghost town. No cranes. No building sites. Hardly anyone around.

One chap (perm) in the office comes in via Bus Éireann from Drogheda.

Wintel though.....

Wouldn't fancy the bus. Pretty good train service - 1 hour.

Long commutes and expensive houses - it's a mini London!

Getting a bit that way, but Drogheda is a long way out and house prices there are pretty reasonable. The problem I see is lack of investment and planning to support the booming Dublin economy. The trains are getting crowded. The roads are full. Not enough hoses being built. Ditto for schools etc. It won't end well.

1 hour out from Dublin isn't expensive housing. 2,000sq ft, 4 beds, 4 baths in 3/4 of an acre in Monasterboice will set you back €450k

These times are a bit theoretical. I am a 35 to 40 minute train journey from Dublin but door to door to client site is 75 minutes. Does depend where you work in town and finance and tech tend to be a bit better for the mainline commuter trains.

IFSC is just round the corner from Connolly, or take the tram if you're lazy. Also, when they finally finish the north side tram it will be better.
