Property Picnic was officially launched last week and to say that we are blown away by the support and generosity of so many is an understatement. Our primary focus in creating the event was to celebrate the life of our much-loved colleague Louise Creevy (nee Doherty) who sadly passed away last year and in doing so we also wanted to honour our industry colleague Jason Miller who also sadly passed in 2021.
We wanted to create an event that reflected Louise and Jason’s fun loving personalities and to raise significant funds for Cancer Trials Ireland . This organisation provided a great deal of support to Louise and her family throughout her illness and was their chosen charity.
We are thankful to all for giving us the opportunity to create this exciting event, in particular our Keystone sponsors Hibernia REIT plc, Core Capital Limited, Eagle Street Partners, Iconic Offices, Matheson, Glass Bottle and McGrath Group.
See you at the Picnic!

We were delighted to hear our Executive Chairman Neil Bannon interviewed on Executive Chair, part of Newstalk’s “Down to Business” radio show on Saturday. Neil and Bobby discussed the big changes to the nature of the Office and how it will move from being functional to experiential. He provided the valuable insight that Investors and Employers are now going to be more concerned about the experience of being in the office. It will no longer simply be a place with a desk but instead somewhere you look forward to visiting in the new hybrid working world.
As a result, he mentioned that Bannon had seen a notable increase in clients seeking to have the firm leverage our market leading Retails skills and apply them to the Office. Other topics covered included how Neil’s Law degree helps with complex lease and purchase negotiations, setting up Bannon with his father Joe and how an independent, Irish owned business, excels at competing with multi-national competitors in this market.

Staff from Bannon are excited to volunteer their day today to Alone Ireland.
The day will be spent on a variety of activities which included general maintenance work, decorating and gardening in Willie Bermingham Place, Kilmainham. This is a ALONE development which provide assisted housing to people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Thank you to the very generous contributions from Bannon partners we were able to donate supplies Lynch Interact and MCR Group.
In 2018 Bannon staff volunteered for 2 days with Alone. The first day was spent carrying out cleaning, maintenance and painting to residential units which were acquired by Alone for permanent housing for older people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.
On the second day, Bannon staff carried out grounds maintenance to one of Alone’s residential developments, this helped tidy up the landscape areas and provide the residents with a colourful, safe area to enjoy. See us in action!
This year, Bannon staff are gearing up to volunteer with Alone again and are tasked with more gardening and maintenance on the 16th August.
Not only do these volunteering days give back to our local community, it reminds us of the importance of caring for our elderly and the challenges that some face in the older years.
The Peter McVerry Trust’s Wexford Cycle is looking for people to take part next month in order to raise money for homelessness.
Weaving its way from UCD to Wexford Town, the hugely popular cycle passes through some of Wicklow and Wexford’s most scenic spots.
This year marks the event’s 30th anniversary and will see around 400 cyclists take part, a far cry from the original event, when just four students from UCD set off to raise money for the homeless charity.
The cycle is geared up to provide a fun day out for cyclists of all abilities and provides a great opportunity to experience the splendour of the sunny South East.
The event is rounded off with a BBQ and music in Clayton Whites Hotel in Wexford Town, where participants can relax and enjoy the post-cycle celebrations.
With over 10,000 people currently experiencing homelessness, the Peter McVerry trust provides well needed support to all that need it. The cycle takes place on the 14th of September.
If you wish to take part please click here to their website for further details.

Scandinavian furniture and homeware chain JYSK opened their second Irish store this morning at Drogheda Retail Park as people queued up to get into the new JYSK store which was officially opened at 9.00 am.
Founded in Denmark in 1979, JYSK , (it’s pronounced “Yusk”), is a global retail chain with more than 2,700 stores worldwide selling everything for the home, it has a turnover of €3.6 billion a year and employs some 23,000 people.
The Drogheda JYSK store is the group’s second in Ireland, it opened its first branch in Naas in April and stores are also scheduled to open in Navan later this month and Portlaoise in August.
Occupancy at Dublin’s hotels reached a record level last year helped by a large number of events held in the capital.
According to data from travel research company STR, Dublin’s hotels far outperformed their European peers as absolute occupancy rose to 83.8% – the highest level for any year in STR’s Dublin database.
Revenue per available room (RevPar) recorded its eighth consecutive year of growth. Compared to 2017, RevPar rose 7.2% to €121.70.
STR analysts said they attribute the strong performance to a large number of events including the Six Nations Rugby Championship, the St Patrick’s Festival and a number of concerts from performers such as U2, Florence and the Machine and Snow Patrol.
Last year saw fewer UK visitors travel to the Republic on the back of Brexit, although tourists from other jurisdictions compensated for that. In the 11-month period to the end of November, the latest month for which figures are available, more than 9.8 million people travelled to the Republic, an increase of 6.8% on the same period in 2017.
Outperforming
Ultimately, that led to Dublin hotels far outperforming their European rivals both in occupancy and revenue terms. Europe’s hotel industry as a whole recorded a 1.2% increase in occupancy to 72.4% while RevPar grew 5.2% to €81.43.
The construction of hotels is picking up and almost 1,000 new rooms were added to the Dublin market last year including the 145-bedroom Iveagh Gardens Hotel on Harcourt Street and the 140-bedroom Maldron Hotel on Kevin Street in Dublin 8.
A further 2,500 hotel rooms are due to open either this year or next.
More than 800 participants and 70 teams took part in this year’s Dragons at the Docks property industry fund raising event at Grand Canal Dock in Dublin on Thursday.
The dragon boat-racing competition raised €250,000 for charity with two-thirds of the proceeds going to the Dublin Simon Community and the balance to be distributed to local charities.
“Working together, we have the ability to deliver many more permanent homes, ensuring that people never have to face the uncertainty and anxiety of homelessness again,” said Sam Guinness, chief executive of the Dublin Simon Community.
Dalata, Glenveagh Property and Hines joined the original six companies who launched the event last year: Cairn Homes, Green Reit, Hammerson, Hibernia Reit, Ires Reit and Kennedy Wilson Europe Real Estate.
Second year
“It’s great to be part of the second year of the Dragons at the Docks for what is an even bigger and better event than last year,” said Pat Gunne, chief executive of Green Reit.
“With over 700 people taking part and ma
ny more coming down to enjoy the event, it is fantastic that there has been so much support to help us raise money for important causes like the Dublin Simon Community.”

Staff from Bannon Commercial Property Consultants happily volunteered 2 days of their time to Alone Ireland in July and August.
Over 30 Bannon employees volunteered their time over the two days. The days were spent on a variety of activities which included general maintenance work, decorating and gardening in Earls Court, Reuben Street & Bermingham Place, Kilmainham. These are two ALONE developments which provide assisted housing to people over 60 who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Due to very generous contributions from Bannon partners we were able to donate surplus funds to ALONE Ireland.
About ALONE

ALONE works with the older person and their families, giving them options for the type of support that’s best for them, regardless of their situation. They offer support through an award-winning Befriending service, Housing with Support, Support Coordination, and Campaigns for Change.

The challenge of creating innovative housing solutions was on the agenda at the most recent meeting of the Donegal Dublin Business Network (DDBN) as Eoghan Murphy TD, Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government, addressed the organisation.
A panel discussion on the subject of housing took place at the group’s April gathering in Iveagh House on St Stephen’s Green, followed by a Q&A session overseen by DDBN chairman Paul Doyle (MD of Bannon Commercial Property Consultants) and committee member Danielle Conaghan (Partner in Arthur Cox). Minister Murphy was joined on stage at the event by two other guests of the network. Margaret Sweeney, a native of Kilcar, is CEO of IRES REIT Plc – a company that is Ireland’s largest private landlord with more than 2,500 units.The third industry expert present was Richard Barrett, founder of Bartra Capital Property, a development and investment platform active in areas including private residential development, social housing, nursing homes, commercial real estate and renewable energy. Bartra recently acquired a holiday resort with 27 homes on 186 acres of land in Carrigart.
Making his introductions, Chairman Paul Doyle acknowledged the high calibre of speaker who had joined group members to discuss a topic that has dominated political and social debate in recent years. An open and informative discussion lasting almost 90 minutes followed and the topics debated included the cost of housing delivery, affordability and access to funding.
The key role of the National Development Plan and Project Ireland 2040 were referenced throughout the debate in terms of how they aim to attract a more even spread of national investment into regions including the north west, where Letterkenny has been identified as a centre for regional growth. One interesting idea advanced towards the end of the evening involved embracing affordable opportunities for converting commercial premises in town and village centres that have been left vacant for many years into residential housing, thereby reintroducing a soul back into towns and villages in regional areas.
Wrapping up the event, Danielle Conaghan acknowledged and thanked the panel for their openness, and observed that a fast fix to the current housing situation was not going to be easy. She added that it was encouraging to be advised that the private sector was now embracing government policy and opportunities to stimulate a more rapid supply of housing.
