Why is Ireland's buy-to-let rate so high?

Why are we so far above established European powers? Is it simply a shortage? Or a reflection of how difficult stuff is for landlords here? Relatively more expensive mortgages? I'm assuming we'll get in line with the others soon - trying to figure out if the rent will slump or prices will simply rise to get there...

I'd say an easy guess would be a combination of the lower standards required for build-to-rent properties, and the very high prices on rent compared to the interest repayments on building.
