    What are you basing this theory on? If any town centres rise, it'll be the towns very close to Dublin, with fast transport links to Dublin. I doubt there'll be any more Cavan type commutes from the Celtric era being seen as "good", if for nothing else than fuel costs (I'm guessing about €150 a week?).

    That's the property cycle. Plus the government want to win the election in 2016. They will be no different than any other and will try to buy the vote. Watch cash we Dont have been thrown at projects over next two years. Already mentioned reducing tax rate.

    Dublin is the only town centre that is going to rise. Dublin is the only city that is getting foreign investment at the moment. Most people want to live in Dublin and not 1 hour on the motorway like 10 years ago. Dublin services sector is still growing and there is large demand from foreign language students.

    Why would house prices rise outside of Dublin other than another poorly thought tax scheme?

    For now Dublin is the place alright. But like the boom people want to live in other locations. The government start to loosen the tax bands and spend on other projects people will have more money in their pockets and they will spend with confidence. This creates competition in place I or you may not want to live.

    When there is increased employment there will be a subsequent increase in demand for housing. If the demand can't be met in Dublin because of increased prices the demand will spread out the motorways.

    We are focusing our resources on hightec and research type posts- which are far more likely to cluster around international transport links, than they are the motorways.

    Look at west Dublin- and HP/Intel etc- they were convinced to locate there by availability of development land, and perceived proximity to Dublin airport. The Sandyford area- boomed once the M50 linkup was finished- for the same reason. Perhaps an argument could be made for a similar cluster in North Dublin/Meath- however we have all the low lying apples picked already.

    I don't see any massive increase in demand for housing in Cavan- or even Leitrim- both have massive surpluses even in high population areas (Carrick-on-Shannon anybody?) Clare- with its access to Shannon- is another area with a deficit in housing- for precisely this reason.

    I think no more than 40 mins from Dublin for the next few years
