Leading journalist Matt Cooper delves into the intricate world of Irish property ownership, shedding light on the powerful individuals and groups that control the valuable land where we live, work, and play.


In his comprehensive book, "Who Owns Ireland?", Cooper explores the backgrounds and motivations of the new foreign investors who are flocking to Ireland to purchase property and land. He uncovers the intricate web of corporate entities, offshore trusts, and tax havens that are behind these transactions, revealing the complex networks that facilitate the acquisition of these valuable assets.


The book also examines the impact of foreign ownership on ordinary citizens. It raises questions about the potential loss of control over local resources, the influence of foreign investors on property prices, and the potential for gentrification and displacement. Cooper provides a thought-provoking analysis of these issues, challenging readers to consider the broader implications of the growing concentration of wealth in the hands of a few.


Through his extensive research and engaging storytelling, Cooper offers a valuable insight into the complex dynamics of Irish property ownership. He sheds light on the power structures that shape the country's real estate market, exposing the hidden hands that control the valuable land beneath our feet.


"Who Owns Ireland?" is a must-read for anyone interested in Ireland's political, economic, and social landscape. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the forces that shape the country's property ownership, and offers a critical perspective on the impact of foreign investment on ordinary citizens.


With its insightful analysis and compelling narrative, this book is a valuable resource for policymakers, activists, and citizens alike who seek to understand the complex dynamics of Irish property ownership and its implications for the future of the country.
