In Dublin, over 4,600 applications have been submitted for just 195 cost-rental apartments at Shanganagh Castle, highlighting significant demand. The Land Development Agency opened applications for the project, which offers homes at prices 25% below market rates. Only about 2,200 applicants met the eligibility criteria, and a lottery will be held to determine who secures a lease. The Shanganagh Castle Estate aims to provide long-term housing solutions for those with lower incomes.
