This decline may be due to the Central Bank mortgage restrictions although, in their report, the Banking & Payment Federation of Ireland said it will be at least summer 2016 before any definite

These measures were designed to prevent a repeat of the battle between the major mortgage lenders during the mid 2 000's to gain the largest share of the Irish property based financial market and the former governor of the Central Bank has stated that they are aimed at making another Irish housing bubble impossible.
