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.

It’s a perfect storm.
Can you do a comparison chart with population?
