Welcome to the Irish Property Council website
The Irish Property Council (IPC) is a professional organisation set up to provide a cogent voice to the people engaged in the property business in Ireland, including builders, developers and investors. The Council has been set up to foster unity across its membership body, to best explore and understand the broader affairs they each face.
Prior to the founding of the IPC the property industry in Ireland had no single, cross sector representative body. The IPC has been established to fill that void and to provide the support mechanisms needed by its members, ensuring that their contribution to Irish society is represented as a professional business interest within Ireland.

Irish Property Council calls for a “Truth Commission” as negotiation is the only way forward
(Press release April 27, 2011)
The Irish Property Council (IPC) is calling on the new Government to recognise the catastrophe that is affecting Irish families and businesses brought about by the catastrophic collapse of the Irish financial framework.
It is causing the most incredible stress and disillusionment amongst the public and citizens of the state where the only resolution for those affected is through the courts since they are being held singly responsible whereas all reports commissioned by Government, including the Wright report, the Regling and Watson report and last week, the Nyberg report, are holding the Government, Banks, Financial Regulator, Central Bank, and the Department of Finance responsible.
We are calling for a” truth commission” where the personnel and the departments responsible admit responsibility, accept accountability and take the anguish from people being prosecuted in courts and seek an alternate remedy for people in the future.The continued destruction of people’s lives through court actions by Financial Institutions which substantially contributed to the crisis is no longer acceptable and is an abuse of legal process and powers. The IPC call on all accountable and responsible parties to work with the borrower to reach a solution so that people can live and work and have a future for themselves, their families and their employees.

Tuesday 8th February, 2011: IPC AGM and Members meeting at the Red Cow Hotel
"Justice for Property People"
The meeting authorized the IPC Committee to initiate an action against the Government, the Financial Regulator & the Banks.
As a result of overwhelming support at the General meeting of The Irish Property Council last month, the IPC wish to support property owners who are exposed to negative equity due to the distruction of the property market.
The destruction of the property market has been caused by the reckless lending of our banks, lack of regulation by our Government and the disreguard of prudent advice on fiscal policy by the Government in power.
Property owners are being ruthlessly scapegoated by Government and Banks through the courts without the courts identifying their (State and lender) responsibility in this catastrophe.
The Irish Property Council require a willing plaintiff that can be supported in a court action where the defence to a judgement, recevership or a reprosession will be the Recklessness of the banks which was pursued to such a level that they destroyed themselves, the recklessness of Government policy and the incompetence of the regulator.
[Click here to read the arguement for the proposed legal action]
This case will be a landmark case requireing the support of all property owners who require a new direction to resolve this national crisis.
The resolution should be dialogue and not the blunt instrument of court judgements which are destroying the fabric of society. This resolution may help to deal with the massive debt and liquidity problems facing all parties; the State, the lenders and the borrowers.
Canidates for willing plaintiff should contact the Irish Property Council, 25 Fitzwilliam Square, Dublin 2. Phone 01 5143862 or
