Ireland's building boom also went over the top. The government relaxed planning laws, the banks threw money at anything involving cement, and investors gobbled up houses in the expectation that prices could only go up. An Irish government report last October into the country's “ghost estates” identified more than 2,800 housing developments where construction had been started but not completed. Between them these estates had planning permission for 180,000 units, which roughly translates into a new residence for one in every 25 Irish people.
