Across Ireland, many people are struggling to buy homes due to a severe housing shortage and soaring property prices. Even buyers who have secured mortgage approval face daily frustration as they are drawn into competitive bidding wars.

As bids continue to rise, homes are frequently selling far above their asking prices, pushing homeownership further out of reach for many people.

What causes a bidding war and does we need to get rid of them completely to make housing more affordable?  

Joining Andrea was Hunters MD estate agent, Rowena Quinn, Newstalk’s own, Barry Whyte and listeners who have first hand experience of bidding wars.

For this week’s Ask Me Anything, Andrea was joined by Former Ambassador Bobby McDonagh to answer any of your questions!

A tragic incident occurred in Dublin City Centre yesterday afternoon when a Bus Éireann bus crashed on North Earl Street, resulting in the death of one man and injuries to three others. Since the incident, videos and images have been circulating on social media. An Garda Síochána has urged the public to refrain from sharing such footage, out of respect for the victims and their families.  

Is this something the gardai should have to ask, or is it common sense to avoid taking these videos and pictures?

Andrea was joined by  Entertainment and News Correspondent with the Irish Independent, Melanie Finn, Volunteer first responder, Michael, Mark McLaughin, Secretary, Buncrana Hearts,  Newstalk’s tech correspondent Jess Kelly and Clodagh in Dublin  to discuss.
