For comparison, Ireland’s population is up by more than 1 million since building rates fell off a cliff in 2008. Although the first few years after the housing crash had a healthy mopping-up of the excess building in the early 2000s, since then building has badly lagged the sheer need for new supply.
Can you do a comparison chart with population?
Amazing how lack of regulation of the US/eu financial industry led to a basically permanent crippling of their homebuilding industries (while the financial industries got bailed out and massively pumped up by the government, and then land got too expensive to build cheaply on)

Oof. That’s not going to help prices.
