IPOA?they do not seem to be very effective,however I am not a paid up member nor intend to be,money is too tight,my judgement on this is based purely upon the train the Govt has run right through Landlords in Ireland,increased taxes,property taxes,having to pay for tenant biased quangos such as the PRTB,reduced amt in interest that can be written off against rental income.
I appreciate theses are straitened times amd everyone should shoulder the weight of disaster the banks have visited on us....but frankly I have seen precious little in lobbying bar the odd press release.
Irishlandlord.com is an excellent site with some very experienced Landlords taking time to advise their fellow property owners,all for free.ts a pity a few of them do not set up a proper property owners lobby group,God knows they are angry and vocal enough.
