Leviathan - May 4th 2006

"When Will The Property Bubble Burst?"

Why are the Irish so obsessed with owning property? Why do we continue to ignore the warning signs? Are the predictors of doom just determined to wreck our great boom buzz or are they wiser than most? Will it all end in tears? How on earth can first-time buyers get their foot on the property ladder this side of Gort?

Host David McWilliams presents musical comedy from Paddy Cullivan, stand-up comedy from Bernard O'Shea and a lively interactive panel discussion with Managing Director of HOK, Paul McNeive; Evening Herald columnist, Dan White; co-founder of daft.ie, Eamonn Fallon; and property investor Ria Lawlor.  Listen out at the end of the show for an extraordinary turn from the mysterious "Hughie Tuohy" from HOK!

Next Leviathan is June 1st when we'll be asking "Should We Now Privatise the Health Service Completely?"
